Not going to win this thing this year anyway, so what difference does it make?  Going with my heart and a little bit of my head.

Forecast for tomorrow in South Bend.  High of 34 and low of 22.  Since kickoff is after dark I'll guess the temp in mid to high 20's and falling.  Not good for passers or receivers.  Also forecast for light snow and winds between 11 and 14 mph.  Should help a team that can't pass very well (ND).

Home field advantage to ND.  Well, duh.

Strength of schedule and stats favor Indiana.  ND based on latest top 25, ND has not played ONE ranked team this year.  Only loss was to a MAC team at home when they fell behind and had to throw the ball.  How in the world did they deserve a home game?  Beats me.

IU's best chance is to get an early lead and force ND to play come from behind.  If our balance attack and passing game are working we walk away with this one.  It could actually be a blowout game either way or a rock fight.  IU need to play well and avoid mistakes.  Interception near the goal line and muffed snap to the kicker made the OSU game look a lot worse than it really was.

BottomLine:

Hoosiers      4 TD = 28    +    1 FG= 3        Total 31

ND                  3 TD = 21   +     2 FG = 6       Total 27

My head tells me ND controls the lines and we lose but I just can’t pick against IU in the playoff.

This will probably cost me my lead in the prediction league but…………..LFG!!!

IU - 31

ND - 24
