Denver vs Oral Roberts Prediction

Oral Roberts should be up for this game at home, but I’m not backing a team that’s 2-8 SU and ATS in its last 10 games. Denver not only wins games at a higher rate but also is 18-9 ATS on the season. When these teams met last month, Denver dropped 98 points on Oral Roberts’ head. Denver shot 54 percent from the field and 50 percent from three in the victory. Oral Roberts doesn’t have the offensive horses to keep up. Give me Denver in a comfortable road win.
