I love the Hoosiers in this spot. The line has moved from 7 to 6 1/2 in some places, but the 7 can still be found pretty easily. Here is another game where we are getting the better team and a TD to boot. This Virginia team is pretty bad this year and the Hoosiers are a lot better than they have been in the past.
The Cavaliers come in with a 1-3 record, getting their only win over a suspect North Carolina team that turned the ball over 3 times to virginia's 0. I think the North Carolina win is why we are getting a silly line in this game. If NC wins that game, as was expected then this game is probably a pk or -1.
This Virginia team lost at home to William and Mary. Thats a William and Mary team that lost to Villanova. Norfolk State played W&M closer than Virginia did. Delaware played W&M closer than Virginia did. Virginia also lost to a Southern Miss team that has proven to not be very good.
The only real test that Virginia has had this year was against TCU where it got dominated in every facet of the game losing by 16 points.
The Hoosiers on the other hand went into Ann Arbor and gave Michigan all it could handle before finally blowing the game in the final minute. They also played Ohio State at about the same level that Virginia played TCU. The difference is that Ohio State is a much better team.
Virginia's offense is very weak. Outside of the Southern Miss game ( everyone scores on Southern Miss ), Virginia has scored 14,14, and 16 points. This team got 14 points on William and Mary. And somehow they are going to beat Indiana by more than a touchdown ? Its not going to happen.
Virginia QB Jameel Sewell has 648 yards passing this year. Outside of the Southern miss game he has 336 yards passing in 3 games, barely averaging 100 yards a game. The Cavaliers rushing offense is worse. Virginia has rushed for 356 yards in 4 games. They got 125 yards rushing against S. Miss, 57 against TCU, 78 against that feared William and Mary D
, and 106 last week against North Carolina.
Indiana running back Darius Willis has 45 rushing attempts for 244 yards this year. Thats 5+ yards, almost 6 yards per rush average. He did that playing against a much stronger schedule which included Ohio State and Michigan Defenses. He will have a field day against Virginia.
Indiana QB Ben Chappell passed for 270 yards against Michigan, and over 200 against Ohio State. he tore up the other teams that IU played this year. Chappell comes in to the game with 1154 yards this year. He has passed for over 500 yards more than Sewell has this year.
Indiana has given up 22 points per game this year. An average that was raised a lot by the 33 points both Michigan and Ohio State dropped on them. Virginia is most definitly not Michigan or Ohio State. Virginia's defense has given up 24 points per game this year.
Looking at this game from a lot of angles, all gives me a strong belief that Indiana will win this game outright, but my play here will be Indiana + 7. I love this play a lot, no way I can see Virginia winning this game by more than 1 score.
