2. Michigan (at Indiana)

Indiana is averaging 279 yards of offense per game, yet averaging 36.5 points per game. Eventually, that’ll catch up to the Hoosiers, but don’t be surprised if this is where the Indiana offense breaks out.

Michael Penix Jr. has already had his breakout moment, but he’s still in search of that complete game. Against a Michigan defense that gave up 323 yards to Michigan State last week, this could be just the game he’s looking for.

Michigan could be missing some depth due to injuries and are no doubt  deflated after last week’s lost. If Michigan enters this game feeling sorry for themselves, they’ll basically be handing the game to the Hoosiers.

If Indiana wins this game, whether they belong in the conversation or not, they’ll be in the conversation for the Big Ten East title.
