Indiana vs Michigan State Prediction & Picks 11/2/2024

Big Ten rivals will do battle on Saturday afternoon, as the Indiana Hoosiers visit the Michigan State Spartans in a key conference matchup. Indiana is a 6.5-point favorite going into this game, one in which they will look to stay undefeated, while the total has been set at 50.5 points. For our college football betting picks ahead of Indiana vs Michigan State, continue reading our preview below.

Indiana Hopes to Keep Perfect Start Going

In their first year under head coach Curt Cignetti, the Indiana Hoosiers are off to a perfect 8-0 start, which includes a 5-0 mark in the Big Ten. Indiana enters this week tied with Oregon at the top of the Big Ten standings, with a chance to move to 6-0 in conference play with a win over a mediocre Michigan State team. The offense of Indiana has been a sight to behold going into this contest, as they have averaged 46.5 points per game on the year. Anything close to that number in this game would be more than enough to move Indiana to 9-0 before a matchup against Michigan at home.

Can Michigan State Shake Struggles Against Elite Opposition?

The Michigan State Spartans are 4-4 overall this season and 2-3 in Big Ten play. In their last outing, the Spartans lost to rivals Michigan in a disappointing 24-17 result. Poor quarterback play has spoiled what could have been an otherwise strong season for the Spartans, as Aidan Chiles has more interceptions (9) than passing touchdowns (7) going into this week’s play. In a game where the Spartans will need to score in bunches to keep up with an explosive opponent, quarterback play could be what derails them again here.

Indiana vs Michigan State Best Bet

We will gladly lay the points with Indiana in Saturday’s Indiana vs Michigan State matchup in the Big Ten. While the Spartans should keep the Hoosiers from scoring into the high-40s again this week, Indiana should still be able to do more than enough to win this game by a touchdown or more. Look for the Hoosiers to improve to 9-0 on the season and to continue to generate some buzz heading into their consecutive games against Michigan and Ohio State, which could decide how their season ultimately plays out.
