Indiana vs Michigan State Totals Pick – Offense and Defense
Indiana can certainly put points on the board. They’re averaging 37.0 PPG. At the same time, MSU’s offense has been good for 20.3 PPG. Those two averages make the over bet look promising. In addition, on the other side of the ball, the D is allowing 25.7 PPG. The Spartan defense is giving up 37.0! Those two stats also point towards the over bet as being the way to go.
Because both teams rely on the pass, we can expect points to be accumulated quickly. We don’t envision either utilizing their run attack very much. Also, the Hoosiers will likely score a pick or two, giving their offense into some advantageous field positions.

In four of their last six games and in eight of their last dozen games in November, the total has gone under. Also, in four of five contests played in week 11, MSU has seen the score go under. However, in 10 of their last 12 contests versus Indiana, the over has been achieved.
Indiana vs Michigan State Totals Pick – Final Word
Our Indiana vs Michigan State totals pick likes the over in this one. As noted, both clubs can score and MSU gives up points in droves. The only thing that may stop the score from topping 51.5 is if the Spartan offense sputters. But we don’t think they will totally go down the drain.
