IU @ NU Prediction Thread

[rmndcat]

The Cats are back in action by the Lake this week facing the surging # 23 Hoosiers. NU has a winning all-time record against Indiana (47-35).

Injuries, particularly to Cam Porter, were telling in recent weeks. NU's bye week was an opportunity to Indiana meanwhile has a strong passing offense that will likely be a harder challenge that Duke or Washington.

Time to prognosticate...

I'm thinking lake conditions in relatively open stadium may limit passing. That would keep IU's offense in check a little more.

Defense will will once again hang in there, but offense will be anemic.

I think our defense will hold up and keep the score below the O/U. I also don’t think the Indiana defense is better than the Washington defense. With that said, s far this season, they have played extremely well and I don’t think we will win this game.

An objective observer would expect NU to get blown out this weekend.

Thankfully, I am not an objective observer, and lots of things — home game, IU getting some pub and some distractions, week off, a genius offensive coordinator — are conspiring in favor of the Cats.


33-27, Cats

I have no idea why I feel this way. I cannot justify it except a gut feeling. I think Indianas run is about to end

I’m really at a loss on this one and pretty unsure how it’s gonna go. NU is +430 or so, which is way too much IMO. I think it’s gonna be competitive, and it better be or this is probably gonna be a super rough season. I think NU’s defense is gonna keep up in it, I’m just unsure if the offense is gonna do anything.

How good are the Hoosiers really?? Their high-scoring (so far) offense vs our “decent” defense (and out not-so-decent offense).
