(4%) MISSOURI STATE. These teams typically face each other a bit later in the season. The last three meetings, all won by the home team, were played in December. Before that, they played an early November game and the Bears won by 34. In fact, the Bears are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS the past five times that they hosted Oral Roberts. All five wins came by nine or more and the lone non-cover was a 10-point win as a -13 point favorite. Note that the Golden Eagles are just 4-10 ATS (0-14 SU!) the past couple of seasons, when listed as underdogs. The Bears are under some pressure to win and to put seats in the stands. They've got size and depth and they play stingy defense. Facing Oral Roberts, which lost more than they did and which has a new coach, early in the season provides an opportunity for a confidence-building win. Expect them to make the most of it. *good at -7 or better
