Oral Roberts at Texas A&M picks and predictions
Prediction
Texas A&M 80, Oral Robert 56
Moneyline
PASS.
Oral Robert hasn't looked like a team capable of pulling off an upset against a top-15 side on the road. At +1260, pass on it doing the improbable. Similarly, A&M isn't worth a look at -4000.
Against the spread
BET TEXAS A&M -19.5 (-106).
A&M is averaging 76.3 PPG, so it has a consistent offense. The Aggies were a 21.5-point favorite over Texas A&M Commerce to commence the season and won by 32. They have beaten up both Power 5 and non-Power 5 sides. They should be able to come out and dominate here.
Oral Roberts' top scorer hasn't been efficient, and it has yet to play a Power 5 side. That combination could force its offense to struggle. The Golden Eagles have been an underdog in 2 of 3 games and have failed to cover both games. There's no reason to expect them to cover this spread against a caliber side.
Take TEXAS A&M -19.5 (-106).

Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 148.5 (-115).
Texas A&M has had one of the most efficient defenses in the nation. Its opponents have a 40.9% efficient field goal percentage which ranks 26th-best in the nation. While its offense has been consistent, it has yet to top 80 points yet this season, and it has played low-quality opponents and still not erupted for more than 80.
Oral Roberts hasn't played a team with the athleticism or coaching that the Aggies have. It has averaged 71.3 points, but the Aggies defense should pose a greater threat. The Golden Eagles are 1-1 O/U this season.
Take UNDER 148.5 (-115).
