Indiana Draws Heavy Money as USC Faces a Double-Digit Road Spread

USC’s road game against Indiana carries added significance for me because I have a ticket on USC to make the postseason and reach the playoffs.

Indiana may not be as good as many people think. The quarterback play is nowhere near last year’s level, going from Mendoza to Hoover. Still, trusting Lincoln Riley and USC to win or cover on the road is difficult.

Indiana is receiving 67% of the overall money and 91% of the master money. Of the money wagered on USC, 6% is master money, compared with 45% of Indiana’s money.

Bets have come in from Indiana -5.5 through -9.5. The line moved from seven to 10 and has remained fairly steady, although some pushback is appearing at 10.

That is a lot of respect for Kirk Snetti, who has been awful against the spread this season. Indiana has been one of the worst teams to back against the spread because the public views the team like it is still last year. This season is different, although Indiana remains a very good football team. USC, meanwhile, has not been great outside the Pacific time zone.
