Louisville vs Indiana Prediction

Give me Indiana here. What Louisville did against Tennessee is a major concern to me and they are going to really struggle here. Louisville’s offense only scored 55 points in that game, and they are going to really struggle to get their offense going again here. Indiana’s offense is averaging 81.5 points and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Indiana is going to cruise here. Don’t be shocked when they win this game in double digits. Back Indiana against the spread here.
