Indiana 28, Miami 21 (IU -7.5; O/U: 47.5)

Finally, we’ve reached the championship game of a painfully long college football season. It’s clear that college football is no longer amateur football, and the players aren’t interested in singing the alma mater anymore. Then again, how many people know the lyrics to their school’s alma mater? 

Bottom line, I think Indiana will win, but Miami will make the Hoosiers sweat a little more than they usually do. It’s not just Fernando Mendoza. Every player on Indiana’s squad will do small things to contribute to the victory. Miami will be able to run the ball enough to limit Indiana’s time of possession, but the Hoosiers are simply too methodical to lose the game. There it is. I think Indiana wins the game, but Miami beats the spread—slightly.

(Season record against the spread: 24 wins, 20 losses, 1, push. .544 winning percentage)
