As someone who is a bit of a history buff when it comes to college football, I can tell you that this spread is fairly unprecedented. The last time the top-ranked team in the country faced an opponent ranked ninth or lower in a bowl game, as a favorite of less than a full touchdown, was the Sugar Bowl…in 1962. The Alabama Crimson Tide closed as a six-and-a-half point favorite over the Arkansas Razorbacks. In a defensive struggle, Alabama outlasted Arkansas 10-3, winning outright and covering the spread. The country hadn’t come to grips with the fact that Alabama was a juggernaut under Bear Bryant. This was his first of six national titles in Tuscaloosa. And moving forward, oddsmakers prohibitively priced Bryant’s teams. If you’re trying to figure out where we are in the Curt Cignetti timeline, we’re still in that “prove it” area. This explains why a deeply flawed, three-loss team, like Alabama, is catching less than a touchdown in the Rose Bowl against the mighty Indiana Hoosiers. Calling IU mighty just two years ago was a cheap punchline. This is the same Indiana outfit that has won exactly one bowl game since 1989, and that postseason exhibition was so prestigious it has changed names, I kid you not, 11 times (Copper Bowl). The Hoosiers don’t just deserve more respect in the market; they’ve earned it. Cignetti’s squad ran the table in the Big Ten, beat Oregon in Autzen, and Ohio State in Indianapolis for the Big Ten title. The IU offense is perfectly balanced, finishing first in Rushing Success Rate and second in Passing Success Rate with a Heisman-winning quarterback running the show. The Hoosier defense just held Ohio State 27 points below their season average, and enter the CFP with the most Havoc-producing defense in the sport. Pick a defensive stat, and Indiana is likely inside the top ten. That’s bad news for a one-dimensional Alabama offense. The Crimson Tide running game has fallen off a cliff, and even the return of Jam Miller couldn’t right the ship. After years of game-breaking running backs lining up in the Alabama backfield, the Tide are now 110th in rushing explosives this season. With defenses putting the Alabama running game in a box, Ty Simpson has been under fire. Alabama’s QB1 has taken ten sacks in the past three games, while feeling pressure on 41% of his dropbacks over that stretch. So why the sudden love for Alabama as a dog? They just pulled off an impressive comeback win in Norman in the first round of the College Football Playoff. They erased a 17-0 deficit, albeit with massive help from the Sooners. The OU special teams came unglued at the worst possible time, allowing a blocked punt while their Lou Groza award-winning placekicker missed a pair of field goals. And with a chance to break the game wide open before halftime, a miscommunication between John Mateer and Keontez Lewis resulted in a game-changing pick-six for Alabama’s Zabien Brown. That’s a handful of high-leverage plays breaking in favor of Alabama. Alabama pulled a rabbit out of its hat on Friday night, which is why this number is still available below the key number of seven. I wouldn’t hesitate to grab IU-6.5 because I believe we’ll look back at Indiana’s 2025 and wonder why oddsmakers were so slow to adapt to the fact that Indiana isn’t a party crasher; they’re a juggernaut.

Indiana Hoosiers 2025 Season Preview

Indiana may be a basketball school at heart, but people are noticing what the Hoosiers did in 2024: an impressive 11–2 record, their first-ever College Football Playoff berth, and a historic run under first-year head coach Curt Cignetti. They ran the table in Big Ten play (8-1), reached PrizeDay first 10-win season in program history, and even secured a Saturday College GameDay appearance at home, something IU fans had only dreamt about.

So yeah, the gridiron isn’t getting laughed off the court anymore.

We now have Indiana slotted at No. 15 in our college football betting power ratings, a rating of 89.8, nestled between Notre Dame (91.8) and Texas A&M (88.3). That puts them firmly in the upper tier of the mid‑majors and Group of Five battlers, and makes them a spot-on matchup against most Big Ten contenders, Indiana would be a narrow underdog to the top dogs, but nobody’s discounting this crew.

The narrative? After so many losing seasons, IU is suddenly not a pushover. They're 11-2, they just beat Big Ten fat cats, and bettors are starting to pay attention. You can track Indiana’s conference title odds all season here.

Betting on Indiana

There are a ton of ways to bet on Indiana football this season, including game-to-game markets such as moneylines, point spreads and totals (the over/under).

For more odds, check out our college football odds page.

Betting Indiana Moneylines

Forget the old 3–24 Big Ten records. Under Cignetti, Indiana went 11-2 overall and had notable wins over Minnesota, Michigan State, and Michigan at home, yes, Michigan at home

Here's a refresher on how moneylines work (you don’t need to be a betting pro for this):

Indiana underdog. Bet $100 on them, you win $170 if they pull the upset. Purdue favorite? You risk $190 to win $100. Nice and simple. Moneylines will vary game to game, IU’s no miracle worker, but they’ve earned phone-in respect this year.

Betting Indiana Point Spreads

If you're looking for something steadier than moneylines, think about point spreads. Indiana won 7 of 9 Big Ten games last year, and most were tight, so you’ll see lines like Indiana +2.5 (-110) against mid-tier teams or Indiana -1.5 at home versus comparable squads.

Deals at -110 mean placing $110 to win $100. Indiana’s rarely blown out, but they’re not chalk either. Betting close games is their jam.

You can learn how to use American odds or check out our odds calculator page before placing any future wagers.

Betting Indiana Totals

Lines like Over 47 / Under 47 were common in 2024, especially in Purdue or Michigan matchups.

Indiana’s offense is balanced, not scheme-heavy smashmouth, but they can score enough with turnovers or special teams (and did so often last year). Believe it or not, they hit the over in many games, despite being conservative on first down.

In our opinion, props like totals are a great low-drama entry point as the season goes on.

Indiana Player Props & More

Props in college are state-limited and inconsistent.

If your state doesn't allow them, give platforms like PrizePicks a try for DFS-style (Daily Fantasy Sports) over/unders. It’s not betting per se, but the stats boards feel familiar - rushing yards over, receiving yards over, TD props, etc.

2025 Preview: What’s New

  • Curt Cignetti is back for Year 2, and the expectations are higher than ever. He inherited a program ready to rise, and he delivered immediately.
  • Roster continuity runs deep: many starters returned from last year’s breakthrough group. But there are depth concerns especially on defense and along the offensive line, according to recent Duck Dive previews.
  • Kurtis Rourke played through a torn ACL all of 2024, and still threw for 2,827 yards and 27 TDs. He’s expected to move on, and Fernando Mendoza looks like the presumptive starter. If Mendoza handles the spread-option offense well, IU stays dangerous.
  • Defense: 2024 relied on a strong front and shutdown secondary anchored by D’Angelo Ponds, Mikail Kamara, and Aiden Fisher. But don’t sleep on depth issues if injuries hit, especially at LB and safety.
