Indiana at Wisconsin picks and predictions
Prediction
Wisconsin 78, Indiana 64
Moneyline
PASS.
The Badgers should win with ease at home, but they aren't worth a play at -710.
Against the spread
BET WISCONSIN -10.5 (-120).
The Hoosiers have only played conference games in 2024 and are 2-3 ATS in those games and 0-2 ATS in road games through those 5. Indiana beat Michigan on the road but lost to Rutgers by 9 and Nebraska by 16. The Hoosiers are just 8-10 ATS on the season and 2-5 in either road or neutral-court games.
On the other hand, Wisconsin has covered in 5 of its last 6 and in 4 straight road games. Expect the home side to win with ease and cover. Back WISCONSIN -10.5 (-120).

Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 143.5 (-110).
The Hoosiers are 1-3 O/U in their last 4 games and have allowed under 70 points in 3 of those outings.
Wisconsin is 3-1 O/U in its last 4 and 9-8 O/U on the season. However, it has scored 71 or fewer in 2 of its last 3 games, so this high of a total may be hard to hit for the Badgers.
Considering those trends, back UNDER 143.5 (-110).
