Video Summary

In a key matchup in the Big 10, 16th-ranked Indiana hosts Nebraska, with the Hoosiers favored by 6.5 points. Despite this line, the handicapper believes it's inflated and that the data doesn't tell the whole story. Indiana's strength of schedule is comparable to Nebraska's, but the trust comes from the eye test. The Cornhuskers have faced tougher opponents, including Illinois, Rutgers, and Colorado, while Indiana's schedule has been softer. Nebraska's offense, led by quarterback Curtis Roor, has shown promise, and their defense has been stingy, allowing just 11.3 points per game, second only to Ohio State. Indiana's defense, while respectable, has allowed 14.5 points per game. The Cornhuskers' ability to get to the quarterback, with 20 sacks this season, is a concern for the Hoosiers. The handicapper believes this game could go three ways, with Indiana winning and covering, Nebraska winning outright, or Indiana winning but failing to cover. Given the perceived value, he's taking Nebraska to cover the 6.5-point spread, which may climb to 7 with public inflation.
