Michigan vs. Oklahoma picks and predictions
Prediction
Michigan 77, Oklahoma 71
Moneyline
No interest. PASS.
Against the spread
On Wednesday morning the ML for this game moved 15 cents in Michigan’s direction, but the spread offering barely moved at all. And that’s the value side here.
Peg Oklahoma as getting too much attention due to the number next to its name. KenPom and BartTorvik figure the Sooners as being outside the top 35 with their schedule dictating perhaps more than the talent on the floor.
Michigan is the more road- and battle-tested squad. Look for UM’s up-tempo style to cause problems for an OU five that has played a lot of slow foes thus far.
TAKE MICHIGAN -3.5 (-115).
Over/Under
The Under is 3-1 across Oklahoma’s last 4 games.
With the neutral venue, peg the UNDER 148.5 (-105) as being worth some partial-unit action.
