2023-24 Prediction League - Game 8 at Michigan Tue 12/5/23 9pm Peacock

[BottomLine 689]

I'll be honest.  I've flipflopped  on this game over and over since Friday.  Vegas has this game tp144 and Mich over IU by 4.  That make the implied score 74-70 Michigan.  This is despite the fact that IU is 6-1 and Mich is 4-4.

Mich has defeated UNC Asheville, Youngstown State, Stanford and St Johns.  Figure IU could beat all of those.  They lost to Long Beach State, Memphis, Texas Tech and Oregon.  Thing is I figure IU could be 2-2, 3-1 or even 4-0 against that bunch.  So If IU would have a winning record against Michigan's schedule, aren't we a better team?  That thought haunts me.

Are people still looking at IUs early close wins against lower ranked teams?  I think we are playing much better now.  How much better?

There I go trying to talk myself into picking the Hoosiers again but I'm not.  A win certainly wouldn't surprise me but the head has to win out over the heart here.  Figure we will have a lot of games like this this year, but home court in the Big10 counts here as the tiebreaker.
