Being a Husker alum, I can not figure this out, even with the injuries to the Big Red. Any comments are welcome.

Thanks, Ed

Something smells fishy with this game as the RLM here is flashing like a siren. The 8 was only briefly available - I called the widely available opener -6.5 on Monday morning but still that line was steamed all the way to -3.5 that same day. Looks like some sort of sharp $ play as I don't think touts release that early in the week. My power ratings make this line Neb -8 and they are off a bye as well so there's no way I want Indy at only +3. Would consider Corn at this price, but don't like to go against the RLM. Cold someone have some injury info that we are unaware of maybe?

Lots of injuries for Nebraska this week. QB, RB and best receiver.

At this point the injuries don't explain it. This is the best built team that Indiana has had as far as how to win in the Big Ten. Even with an great offense, if you can't play defense in the Big Ten, you are good for about 1-3 wins. This Indiana team isn't as good on offense, but there defense has grown a lot. That's a better formula to keep it close. They played very good 3rd down defense vs OSU (36% against a team averaging in the mid 50%).

The regular line and then the injuries and the line moved. I have it at 4 1/2 on my computer. It looks like Indy will catch Nebraska on the right weekend. They have the stats going for them and injuries to Nebraska helps. Watch for indy here, there's always a chance.
