Nebraska vs Indiana Prediction & Picks 10/19/2024

On Saturday, October 19, the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Indiana Hoosiers will square off in a significant Big Ten matchup. These teams are both coming off of their bye weeks, with these teams having one combined loss to this point in the year. Indiana is a 4.5-point home favorite in this matchup, while the total for the game has been set at 50.5 points. Here, we break down Nebraska vs Indiana in a huge game for both teams in the race for the Big Ten, and give our college football betting picks for this contest.

Can Nebraska Pass First Real Road Test?

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are 5-1 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten so far this season. After suffering their first loss of the year to Illinois back on September 20, the Cornhuskers have won two straight conference games against Rutgers and Purdue. But this game will be the toughest road game that Nebraska has faced this season by a wide margin, as their only other road game of this year came against a bad Purdue team. It will be interesting to see how freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola and company deal with that in this marquee matchup.

Indiana Hoping to Stay Perfect

The Indiana Hoosiers are 6-0 overall and 3-0 in Big Ten play coming into the Nebraska vs Indiana matchup from Bloomington. They have been incredible offensively so far this year, averaging 47.5 points per game through the first half of their schedule. Indiana has not faced a team quite as good as Nebraska yet this year, but they have passed a stern test from a tough Northwestern defense already this year and will look to continue lighting up the scoreboard under Curt Cignetti.

Nebraska vs Indiana Best Bet

The fact that Nebraska has not been tested on the road yet this season is a major red flag coming into Saturday’s Nebraska vs Indiana contest. Expect the Hoosiers to remain perfect for the season and to get a win that could move them into the top-15 in the next batch of college football rankings, with Indiana covering the spread in this game to boot.
