Omaha vs Denver Prediction

In this Omaha vs Denver Prediction, Denver is coming as -2.5 home favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records this season but Denver is 2-5 in its last 7 games while on the other hand, Omaha is 3-1 in its last 4. Both teams have been very good against the spread lately, with a 7-3 and 5-1 ATS records in their last 10 and 6 games respectively, so I will not pick a side in this matchup. Neither offense has been stable lately and as a result, both teams are 6-1 to the under in their last 7 games combined. Take the under 158.5 points once again in this one.
