Total Pick: Over 52.5
The Hoosiers have long been known for their rich basketball history, but Curt Cignetti has turned Bloomington into a football school.
The Hoosiers landed their highest ranking in school history this week, ranking second in the nation behind Ohio State.
UCLA, meanwhile, comes into this contest playing its best football of the season.
After a rough 0-4 start to the season and the departure of former head coach Deshaun Foster, the Bruins have won three straight games, including a win over Penn State.
UCLA has averaged 33.3 points per game during its win streak and will again produce points in this matchup today.
Indiana has been rolling all season long, and the Bruins will have no answers on defense.
The Hoosiers rank 8th in offense, averaging 39.0 points per game.
Indiana Player Prop Pick: Fernando Mendoza 225+ Passing Yards
While the game script won’t be perfect, I expect Mendoza to throw for 150+ passing yards in the first half of this game.
Mendoza enters the game as the current Heisman favorite and will post another big-time performance.
UCLA has a below-average secondary, which means Indiana will be able to do whatever it wants in the passing game.
The senior has cashed this prop in five of seven games this season.
