Indiana -7.5 - All Time Outrageous, Laughable Line.

Only college football fans knew about them. Once they won, they blew up and fully entered the consciousness of the vast majority of the country, like Cowboys/Lakers/Yankees team popularity, everywhere on social media, media spotlights like 60 minutes, media hype everywhere. The magic of IU and Ciggy lied in their underdog spirit, being doubted, having no believers. Now everyone believes, even Vegas. In unfamiliar territory as a huge favorite with everyone expecting them to perform big, their psychological edge is gone. Conversely, Bama is thriving on the underdog role, and has this year with wins @UGA and @OU, being left for dead after the SEC title loss. They have a chance to go on a 2024 OSU level run now.    The line is completely and utterly ridiculous. A spread this big is reserved for a massive disparity between teams. IU is good but now extremely overrated. Their win vs OSU now doesn't look like much and the schedule has been a cakewalk besides 2 games. Bama has been through murders' row with 5+ grueling tests.   Maybe IU wins a close one at best, but I would unironically make this spread IU -1. I predict this line will drop from 7.5 to a juiced 7 or soft 6.5 by game time where it opened once it looks like the rain will stop around kickoff and favor Bama's passing game advantage. Simpson is a better QB with better weapons. Mendoza is overrated riding the hype of a 13-0 Cinderella with some Heisman moments, but really isn't all that great and now faces the Heisman curse.    Bama +7.5 -115 - EASY as an all-time opportunity and you're given it for FREE out of pure charity
