Top Indiana vs. Minnesota predictions

After simulating Minnesota vs. Indiana 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Over 40.5 points at betting apps. Josh Hoover has been every bit the difference-maker Indiana expected when it landed the nation's leading returning passer out of the transfer portal, and he has the Hoosiers firing on all cylinders. Drake Lindsey has been solid enough for the Gophers in his second season as the starter, completing passes at a 63.5% clip, but Minnesota's 4-2 record and 1-7 mark against the spread this season reveal a team that has consistently struggled to keep up with the program's competition. Indiana's defensive front has been relentless at home and figures to force a quick-strike offense on Minnesota, fueling a high-scoring afternoon for the Hoosiers.
