Oral Roberts at Texas Tech picks and predictions
Prediction
Texas Tech 88, Oral Roberts 50
Moneyline
Take CHANCE MCMILLIAN OVER 13.5 POINTS (+100). As mentioned, he has 23 and 22 in the last 2 games and averages north of this number. He should clear this against an inferior team.
Against the spread
The Red Raiders are good at all 3 levels. They’re 5th in the country with a 51% field-goal percentage, tied for 9th at 40.6% from downtown and 15th at 79.7% from the line. They’re tied for 7th in offensive rating and tied for 52nd in defensive rating. They’re going to blow Oral Roberts out of the water.
Take TEXAS TECH -26.5 (-115).
Over/Under
The Raiders will probably need to come close to the century mark to cash an Over here. They’ve hit 96 and 98 this season, but 89 is their high point in the last 5 games. They have also been idle for 8 days, and shooting percentage could be a question. Tech has also cashed 2 straight Unders.
Take the UNDER 148.5 (-115).
