Indiana vs Michigan State Prediction 

Indiana comes into this matchup trying to snap a lengthy losing streak, but they will be on the road for this game. The Hoosiers have lost five games in a row and they have scored just 67 and 64 points in their last two games. Indiana has played Michigan, Purdue, and Maryland tough in recent weeks, losing by a combined nine points. Michigan State snapped their two-game losing streak with a great second half against Oregon, but they looked pretty bad in the first half. The Spartans are scoring nearly 80 points per game this season and they should feast on this poor Indiana defense. Take MSU to cover at home.
