Indiana appears to be a team that has been perennially underrated by the sportsbooks for nearly two years.

Betting The Outback Bowl Total
This matchup is expected to be high scoring - the Over/Under line for the game is set at 65.5 points.
Ole Miss scored 40.7 points per game on average, while Indiana put up 30.1 points per game, so the projections of a high scoring game make sense.
As far as the trends go, they point in different directions depending on which team one is looking at. The Over has hit six of the last seven times Ole Miss has gone up against teams with winning records.
However, it must be considered that those teams are teams like Alabama and Florida - high powered offenses with a lot of weapons.
The Hoosiers are not on that level, but they’re a fairly competent unit. However, the Under has it in all six of Indiana’s most recent non-conference games, which is definitely worth taking note of.
This is a very high O/U line, and because of how high it is, it’s hard to know which way to come down on it.
College football bowl betting players have their work cut out for them with this one, in what is projected to be one of the highest-scoring matchups of the year.
