Jam Miller Under 31.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Let’s fade Alabama running back Jam Miller one last time. He is averaging only 3.9 yards per carry and ran seven times for just 11 yards last week. He now gets an Indiana defense that ranks 12th in yards allowed per rush (3.1) and third in defensive line yards per rush (2.2).
Head coach Kalen DeBoer has shown plenty of willingness to move away from Miller after inefficient starts, and that’s exactly what I’m predicting from him on Thursday. Buy Miller for Under 31.5 rushing yards for -114 (53.3%) at Caesars.

Roman Hemby anytime TD scorer (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Indiana’s leading rusher, Roman Hemby, may not lead the team in rushing touchdowns – but he’s a great bet at +100 (50%) on FanDuel to find paydirt on Thursday. Hemby gets an Alabama defense that ranks 43rd in yards allowed per rush (3.9) while the Hoosiers are favored by seven.
Ultimately, Hemby’s team-leading volume makes him the best option. He leads the way in carries (176) and rushing yards (918) while averaging 5.2 yards per carry. Lock him in for even odds.
Hoosiers finding the end zone will help along the cover, which we break down in our Alabama vs. Indiana predictions.
Fernando Mendoza Under 221.5 passing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐
While this year’s Heisman Trophy winner is exciting to watch, Indiana doesn’t want to lean on his arm. Mendoza threw for only 222 against Ohio State and stayed under this number in a majority of his conference wins.
Curt Cignetti will look to beat Alabama with a dominant rushing game. When the Hoosiers do turn to Mendoza, they’ll face the 24th-ranked defense by yards allowed per pass attempt (6.3). Fade Mendoza for -115 (53.5%) at Caesars.
