The current betting odds have Indiana listed as a 10 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Indiana is 13-6 overall this season and they haven't been great in their conference games as they are only 4-4 against Big Ten opponents, but they have been playing a lot better in their games lately and are starting to make the turnaround. They are only 2-4 in their road games but they have won 3 games in a row now and have been on a roll over the last week. Minnesota has been terrible this season with their 7-11 record overall but they are also just 1-7 in their conference games as they have been one of the worst teams in the Big Ten this year. Being at home hasn't even helped them much as they are only 5-6 in home games this season and they have been getting blown out in a lot of their conference games too. Indiana is starting to gain some momentum from their recent wins and they have even pulled off some big wins by double digits as they are playing a lot better. The best way to place a bet here is on Indiana to cover the spread in this game.
