Opening Line: Indiana an Underdog For First Time in 2024 Against Ohio State
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana will be in uncharted territory when it plays at Ohio State in two weeks. For the first time all season, Indiana is an underdog.
Ohio State opened as 9.5-point favorites over the Hoosiers, according to Action Network on Monday afternoon. The over/under is 54.5 points. Indiana is a plus-285 underdog on the moneyline, and Ohio State’s moneyline odds are minus-365.
Game time and television information has not been announced for this game, which will take place at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio on Nov. 23.
Indiana has a bye week before what could be a top-five matchup, depending on what happens around the country. Ohio State plays at Northwestern on Saturday before hosting the Hoosiers. In Sunday’s AP Top 25 Poll, Ohio State was ranked No. 2 and Indiana came in at No. 5.
Indiana football against the spread in 2024
Ohio State leads the all-time series against Indiana 79-12-5. The Buckeyes have a 28-game win streak against the Hoosiers, dating back to 1991. The teams tied 27-27 during the 1990 season, and Indiana’s last win over Ohio State came in 1988, when the Hoosiers won 41-7 in Bloomington.
Indiana also defeated Ohio State 31-10 during the 1987 season, snapping a winless streak against the Buckeyes since 1951. Five of Indiana’s win in this series came between 1901-13.
In coach Curt Cignetti’s first season, Indiana secured the first 10-win season in program history Saturday with a 20-15 win over Michigan. That was the first time since Week 1 against Florida International that Indiana did not cover the point spread.
The Hoosiers led the Wolverines 17-3 at halftime, but generated just 18 yards of total offense in the second half. However, the defense made stops in critical situations to keep their undefeated season alive.
Ohio State is currently 8-1 overall and 5-1 in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes’ lone loss this year came on Oct. 12 at No. 1 Oregon, where they fell 32-31. That gave Ohio State its first and only loss in Big Ten play, a stretch that includes wins over Michigan State, Iowa, Nebraska, Penn State and Purdue.
Most recently, the Buckeyes won 45-0 at home against Purdue. They also beat Akron, Western Michigan and Marshall in nonconference play.

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.
