Sprinkle's read:Indiana -7.5 spread★★★★

Laying 7.5 with the better team

Indiana are laying 7.5, a number they have cleared in one of their last six. Indiana is No.

The number

A win by 7.5 or less is a loss on this ticket; it needs a comfortable margin, not just the result.

The decider

Indiana are without Josh Hoover at quarterback (out), and a quarterback change moves every number on this page. Indiana's offense meets an USC defense that has been average; the edge in that matchup belongs to Indiana. Indiana score 32.4 a game and USC allow 24.2.

The context

Indiana have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference.

Situational

Indiana are missing Davion Chandler (WR) — worth a notch of caution.

What breaks this

Indiana have won by 7.5 or less in five of their last six; a late backdoor score beats this ticket.
