\"The<\/a>
The Indiana Hoosiers have one of the best offenses in the country<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Missouri had an off week after its most recent win, which happened to be a 38-23 victory over the Toledo Rockets as 15-point home favorites on Sept. 7, while going UNDER the betting total of 65.\u00a0 The Tigers are trying to start 3-0 for the seventh time in Coach Gary Pinkel\u2019s 13-season tenure on campus, which is important to consider when making your college football picks in Week 4.\u00a0 The program is 2-6-2 all-time in this series, but these two teams haven\u2019t met since 1992.\u00a0 Missouri is 2-3 SU and 1-3-1 ATS as favorites of 3.5 to 10 points, with the UNDER going 3-2 in those five opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Tigers are 5-2 in non-conference road games since 2003, which includes a 21-16 victory over Central Florida last season.\u00a0 Missouri\u2019s defense carries an active streak into the Indiana game of 32 consecutive games with a turnover gained.\u00a0 Quarterback James Franklin passed for 212 yards and ran for another 77 yards against the Rockets, as he was named to watch lists for O\u2019Brien and Unitas Golden Arm Awards before the season kicked off.<\/p>\n

Indiana has alternated wins and losses over its first three games of the season, as it comes off an impressive 42-10 victory over Bowling Green as 2.5-point home favorites, while going UNDER the betting total for the first time.\u00a0 The Hoosiers threw for 335 yards last time out\u2014marking the third game this season and fifth consecutive contest dating back to last year that they have had 300-or-more passing yards in a game.\u00a0 Defensively, the team is tied for second in the Big Ten Conference with seven sacks, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college football odds page.<\/p>\n

The Hoosiers returned 10 starters and 193 career starts on the offensive side of the ball, which is why it\u2019s not very surprising that the team leads the Big Ten with 21 total touchdowns.\u00a0 Indiana quarterback Nate Sudfeld paces the conference in touchdown passes and passing efficiency.\u00a0 Running back Stephen Houston is also a key figure offensively, considering he ranks sixth on the school\u2019s career list with 20 rushing touchdowns.\u00a0 Five players on the roster have the opportunity to reach 100 receptions and 1,000 yards in 2013.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Hoosiers due to their 5-2 ATS mark in their last seven home games.<\/p>\n
