Notre Dame is still favored in Friday night's College Football Playoff game with Indiana, but the line is shrinking. Here's the latest on the point spread, with a good history against the number for both teams.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame is the higher seed and is favored against Indiana in the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff game on Friday night, but the majority of the money coming in is on the Hoosiers.
The point spread opened at 7.5 points two weeks ago, and hovered close to that since the pairings were announced on Dec. 8. But as of 5 p.m. ET on Friday, the Hoosiers are now just 6.5-point underdogs. The over/under has shifted too. It's now down to 50.5 after starting at 52.5. Indiana is 11-1 this season, and has exceeded expectations just about every week. They covered the spread eight straight weeks and a lot of people had winning tickets in Week 1, when the line went from 22.5 to 25.5 and the Hoosiers won by 24.
They did not cover in the home win over Michigan and the loss at Ohio State, but covered easily in the season finale, beating Purdue 66-0. The game at Ohio State was the only time Indiana was an underdog all season. This would be the second. Indiana played four road games this year — at UCLA, Northwestern, Michigan State and Ohio State — and went 3-1 against the spread. The spread averaged 8.5 in the three wins, and the Hoosiers won those games by a combined 83 points.Indiana did not cover a 25.5-point spread as favorites in its 31-7 win at home against Florida International. The game went under 52 points.Indiana covered a 44.5-point spread as favorites in its 77-3 win at home against Western Illinois. The game went over 54.
