Nebraska is coming off a bye week, but the week before lost to Minnesota 34-7. QB Noah Vedral led the Cornhuskers with 184 total yards (135 passing, 49 rushing), and RB Dedrick Mills scored Nebraska's lone points with a 2-yard TD run in the fourth quarter after the game was decided. Usual Nebraska starter Adrian Martinez, who has thrown for 1,245 yards and seven TDs, did not play due to a left knee injury. He's questionable for this matchup, but has taken at least some reps in practice this week.
As for Indiana, the Hoosiers were able to get the win last week despite the fact that starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had to leave with an arm injury. Backup Peyton Ramsey has proven himself more than capable when called upon, completing 20-of-27 for 193 yards and a score while adding 46 rushing yards in relief last week and completing 77.3 percent of his passes for the season. Penix is still considered a game-time decision but there hasn't been much drop-off for the Indiana offense regardless of who is at quarterback. That due in large part to a talented receiving corps as Donovan Hale, Peyton Hendershot, Nick Westbrook and Whop Philyor all have at least 294 yards receiving and three touchdowns this season.
The total has gone over in four of Indiana's last five road games, and has also gone over in eight of its last 11 Big Ten games. The total has gone under in five straight Nebraska home games, and the Cornhuskers are 1-6 against the spread in their last seven games.
So who wins Indiana vs. Nebraska? And which side of the spread is hitting in well over 50 percent of simulations? Visit SportsLine right now to see which side of the spread you need to jump on, all from the computer model that has crushed its college football picks.
