Picking Every 2016-17 College Football Bowl Game Against the Spread
Foster Farms Bowl
Indiana (6-6, 4-5 Big Ten) vs. No. 19 Utah (8-4, 5-4 Pac-12)
Dec. 28 – 8:30 p.m., Fox
Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, Calif.
Average Line: Utah, -8
Indiana is in the midst of some internal strife and in-fighting following the firing of head coach Kevin Wilson. The Hoosiers were a marginally good team prior to that. Who knows what will show up with Tom Allen at the helm.
Utah has put together a strong season, with a resume of wins over BYU, USC, and UCLA, but did stumble to the finish line losing two straight games, including an upset loss to Oregon.
The Utah offense will simply be more than the Hoosiers can handle, not to mention the possible emotional factor of this game for Indiana.
Prediction: Utah wins, but look for the Hoosiers to keep it closer than 8 points. Indiana beats that spread.
