Indiana vs Michigan State Prediction

I considered Michigan State and the points because Sparty is still good defensively and can grind out competitive results. However, Indiana has been way too consistent to bet against. The Hoosiers are undefeated, and they're 7-1 ATS on the season, with 7 straight covers as a favorite. Indiana has covered 4 straight games as a favorite of 7 or more points. Michigan State is 3-6 ATS in its last 9 games as a home underdog and has been held to 19 or fewer points in 4 of its last 5 games. If it's not broken, don't fix it. Give me Indiana in a comfortable road victory.
