5 Bold predictions for Michigan Football against Indiana
Who wins?
Despite being the lower ranked team in this one, the Wolverines do come in as a 2.5-point favorite according to Fan Duel over the 13th-ranked Hoosiers.
We know in the past, Jim Harbaugh hasn’t had success against ranked teams on the road, although the Wolverines did beat Minnesota two weeks ago, however, the Gophers appear to be overrated.
But as talented as the Hoosiers are, Michigan has a big advantage in the team talent rankings according to 247 sports and even though U-M lost to a less-talented team a week ago, here’s hoping that serves as a wake-up call because this is a must-win game for the Wolverines.
Indiana is the No. 53 team in the team talent rankings and while the Hoosiers did upset Penn State a couple of weeks ago, I never thought that Nittany Lion team was anything special.
Michigan may not be either. But the Wolverines are good enough to win this game. They should come into Bloomington with something to prove and just like they did last season when their backs were against the wall against Notre Dame and Iowa, they will respond in a big way.
Final score: Michigan 31, Indiana 23.
