Nebraska Omaha vs Oral Roberts Prediction

Nebraska Omaha doesn’t show up half the time and has that recent ugly loss to UMKC which makes this side even less appealing. Oral Roberts has issues of its own and hasn’t beat a D1 opponent since December 6, but it’s at home where 4 of its 5 wins this season have come. Oral Roberts can also score the ball a bit, which gives it a fighting chance against a subpar Omaha defense. If Oral Roberts is going to win a game any time soon to stop the bleeding, it would be here. I’ll grab the bucket with the Golden Eagles.
