Ohio State Is An 11-Point Favorite Over Indiana
The Buckeyes are more than a touchdown favorite over Indiana ahead of the top-five showdown in Columbus next Saturday.
After Ohio State opened as a 9-point favorite over Indiana last week, the line has increased a bit as OSU is now favored by 11 points over the Hoosiers, according to consensus lines from the Action Network. After the spread grew from nine points on Nov. 3 to 11.5 points last Wednesday, it seems to have settled in at 11, at least for now.
Ohio State is 9-1 but just 5-5 against the spread, including 3-3 ATS at home. The Buckeyes are 3-2 ATS in their last five games.
Meanwhile, Indiana is 10-0 overall and 8-2 ATS, including 3-0 ATS on the road. The Hoosiers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games.
After the total opened at 54.5, it has climbed slightly to 55.5. Only four of OSU’s 10 games have gone over the total including just three of six games so far in Columbus. Each of Ohio State’s last four games have gone under the total. On the other side, seven of Indiana’s 10 games have gone over and all three of IU’s road games have hit the over. Two of the Hoosiers’ last three games have gone under the total, though.
Ohio State and Indiana will kick off at noon on FOX next Saturday as part of the network’s Big Noon Saturday slate. The network’s Big Noon Kickoff pregame show will air live from OSU’s campus on Saturday morning. College GameDay will also be in Columbus for the top-five showdown.

Indianapolis firefighter hospitalized after battling fire at vacant home
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
