Indiana vs. Nebraska odds, spread, line: 2024 college football picks, Week 8 predictions by proven model

2024-10-19 21:05:04

The No. 16 Indiana Hoosiers (6-0) will face possibly their biggest challenge so far this season when they host the Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-1) on Saturday afternoon. Indiana has won all six of its games by at least two touchdowns, including a 41-24 win at Northwestern in its most recent outing. Nebraska’s lone loss came in overtime against then-No. 24 Illinois last month, but it has responded with wins over Purdue and Rutgers. The Cornhuskers have only allowed more than 10 points once this season, and they can still get back into the Big Ten title hunt.

Kickoff is set for noon ET at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. The Hoosiers are 6.5-point favorites, per SportsLine consensus, in the latest Indiana vs. Nebraska odds. The over/under for total points is 49.5. Before entering any Nebraska vs. Indiana picks, you’ll want to see the college football predictions from the model at SportsLine.

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. 

Why Nebraska can cover

Nebraska has only been on the road once this season, but it cruised to a 28-10 win at Purdue at the end of September in that game. The Cornhuskers easily covered the spread as 10-point favorites, outscoring the Boilermakers 21-7 in the fourth quarter. Freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola had 244 passing yards and one touchdown in that performance, going over 230 passing yards for the fourth time this season. 

Sophomore running back Dante Dowdell provides balance to the offense with 334 rushing yards and five touchdowns, averaging 4.5 yards per carry. The Cornhuskers have held five of their first six opponents to 10 points or less, including their 14-7 win over Rutgers in their most recent outing. They are 4-1-1 against the spread in their six games this season, while Indiana is 1-11 in its last 12 October games. See which team to pick here.
