Yeah, FIU blew last year but their D was middle of the road. They only lost by 14 on the road at Indiana last year when Sudfeld was there. Indiana is now -9 on the road for the opener against FIU?

FIU may win the game SU.

Still can get Indiana -8.5 at a few books.

Game opened at 3.5/4 and moved to 9 at most places.

Indiana wins by 16 in my book, maybe more. I'm on them.

I think that line will charge up even more. FIU is certainly not good and he Indiana offense is great, but double digit home dogs are oh so appealing

I'm never high on a new QB starting his career on the road as a DD fav.

This is why I would look at taking the points or passing on it all together. Spot on

Well, it looks like about 90% of the public think the line opened up too low moving from 4 all the way up to 8.5. I can't recommend piling on the Hoosiers now after moving through key numbers, but I made this number higher as well.

Higher?

I'm trying to figure out why it's so high?

I'm thinking it due to a difference in lots of folks' pre-season power ratings. Take a look at Steele, FPI, etc and you will see the difference there. Maybe some folks are a little too high on the Hoosiers?

I think people are high on the Hoosiers based on last year's performance and their projected offensive capability.

New QB, on the road, week one against an improving FIU team. I can see FIU winning by a FG.

Like many people in this thread, I think the line is still too low despite the upward movement. I believe you are giving FIU way too much credit for last year's IU game. While being somewhat competitive they still lost by 14. Last year they won 5 games but none of those teams had a pulse. They did play competitive games against both MTSU and La Tech, but lost their last two to W Ky and Marshall by a cumulative score of 115 to 7.

They have to replace 6 off a D that gave up 177 points in their last 4. IU on the other hand has 16 returning starters back. Even with a new QB they should be far the better team in this match-up.

I have already played some on IU at minus 8 and will probably play more. Will probably play the over as well.

They lost by 14 on the road when IU had an NFL QB starting. You can't put his skill off to the side IMO.

You want to come into my threads in the main forums and harass me I can do the same to your threads.

We can go back and forth until BAS tells us to knock it off.

Bashing in the sports forums brings the quality of the forums all down. I wish all players the best this CFB year! Can't wait to start the new year.
