Pick by FOX Sports Betting Analyst Chris Fallica:

The Northwestern offense is a brutal watch, but my guy Sammy P says to watch out for the wind off Lake Michigan this week. It's supposed to pick up quite a bit. That could seriously hinder the Hoosiers' passing game at this makeshift stadium, which offers no protection from the elements.

PICK: Under 42 points scored by both teams combined
