Oral Roberts vs Central Arkansas Prediction

In this Oral Roberts vs Central Arkansas Prediction, Central Arkansas is coming as -9 home favorites. Central Arkansas was the superior team last season, having more than twice the number of overall wins than Oral Roberts, having a top-70 offense in the country and superior shooting percentages both from the field and from beyond the arc. They were almost perfect at home with a 14-1 record and excellent against the spread, with a 20-12 ATS record, while Oral Roberts lost 13 of its 14 road games last season and was 14-16 against the spread. Central Arkansas is projected as #183 for the upcoming College Basketball Season and have a chance to compete in the United Athletic, with a solid returning player core. On the flip side, Oral Roberts is projected as #250 for the upcoming College Basketball Season, as they are looking to make progress under their second-year coach, with a more settled roster giving them a chance to do better this year. I like the value with the home team in this matchup and the line is reasonable, as they are not being asked to lay double digits. Take Central Arkansas and lay the -9 in this one.
