Why Indiana can cover
Indiana has already doubled its win total from last season and is now returning home for its next two games. The Hoosiers have been dominant this season, beating all six of their opponents by at least 14 points while averaging 47.5 points per game. Quarterback Kurtis Rourke has 14 touchdown passes and just two interceptions in his first season with Indiana, racking up 1,752 passing yards to go along with the second-best QBR (91.9) in the country.
The Hoosiers have yet to trail at any point this season and are allowing less than 15 points per game. This is their second 6-0 start in program history, so their fan base will create an electric environment for their first home game since the end of September. They have covered the spread in five straight games, while Nebraska is 4-11 in its last 15 road games. See which team to pick here.
