Howard vs Indiana Pick

Indiana is the far better team in this matchup and should dominate from the opening kickoff. The Hoosiers have overwhelming advantages in size, speed, and depth that Howard will struggle to overcome for 4 quarters. Look for Indiana to create short fields with its defense, and the Hoosiers will cruise to an easy home victory and cover to extend their long winning streak dating back to 2 seasons ago.
