Okay seriously, who is going to win? It's the popular thing to say Indiana. But will they?

I have a broccoli and purple onion salad bet riding on this, stirred in pickle mayo dressing
I CANNOT be wrong
Little Jerry? Cheese Grits? I need info.

He’s feeling his oats because they let him back on the Arkansas board for the seventeenth time in three days.

I don't gamble, but the spread is Indiana -8.5 and I'd still take them to win.
There is a chance it could get ugly.
The Ohio St game for Miami is really the only thing towards Miami I see. But 7 of that was on a pick six and Ohio St had a missed FG. That's the 10 points difference. Those things count, but are also probably not things you're going to see against Indiana.
But they have multiple losses against multiple teams with 4 losses. They struggled against the A&M defense, and even against the Ole Miss defense which is not rated in the top30 they only managed 31 and squeaked it out at the end.
I don't think Miami will be able to move the ball very well, and I'm still downright shocked the Beck has not thrown an interception these playoffs.
Meanwhile Indiana has just been dominating. I know Alabama's line wasn't great this year, but nobody else was really able to do what Indiana did. Georgia in the SECCG was the closest, but Alabama also had multiple injuries on the line and hurt guys. Indiana did it while Alabama was healthy, and then turned around and did it to Oregon.
Funny to say, but if Miami beats Indiana, it's going to be a pretty big upset.

Agree. Indiana is just too good. Miami has talent enough to flash but IU is so consistent in everything they do it will frustrate Miami into mistakes.

I said this before the Ohio State game, but giving a team that is better on both lines of scrimmage a bunch of points is crazy. But IU is just playing so well right now, I’m probably just taking the points and not the money line.

I think IU is due a stinker. Miami has had theirs.
High level performance is difficult to maintain even in practice and IU can not cover Malachi Toney.
I got the 'Canes by 10.
One of my friends thinks IU is cheating. He says he thinks theyve "hacked the cloud" that coaches use to upload their practices. Said that the team that should have beaten IU was PennSt after Franklin was fired and there was no way to know what they were going to do after he was gone.
It would explain how IU is able to get off the field so consistently on 3rd down substituting as little as they do. Sometimes it looks like they know what's happening before it happens. And more than normal.
I think that's just about crazy enough to be crazy.

I remember when half the board was claiming they had no shot against Bama & a talent deficiency lol.

Vegas in aggregate certainly smells something as the the -8.5 is up a point in a few days from the initial betting line while the moneyline has moved to -320 to -340, which is indeed crazy.
Who out there is betting $340 bucks on Indiana so they can win $100?

Yes they absolutely will.

This game is unusual for national title games in that the clear favorite is also the overwhelming sentimental favorite. I think most of the non-Miami/Purdue fans picking Miami are either people who want the "old boys' club" to remain exclusive or those who want Indiana to win & think they would on paper but just believe we can't have nice things.

Who knows. But I wouldn’t bet against that Miami defense. Even playing the Heisman winner.

Football is about match-ups..
For the record, Miami has some dudes on both sides of the ball up front. They’re big and strong and they like to play in the trench. Indiana plays a similar style.
Miami is “almost” as old as Indiana. Age average of starters is around 6 months difference. It matters when you have 24 year old competing against 20 year olds.. vs 23 year olds and Miami is the later.
Mendoza is better than Beck.. that may be the difference. But if Beck plays clean.. he’s pretty dangerous.
I think Indiana wins.. but closer than the experts think. I will not be surprised if Miami has the ball late with a chance to win the game

I also think Miami will keep it closer than expected, everybody thinks IU will score a ton of points so naturally this will probably be their lowest scoring game of the year. If Miami can run the ball on IU and avoid dumb penalties (big IF) then this will be a close one.
