Oral Roberts, winners of 7 in a row, have gone 6-0-0 against the spread, and 9-2-0 ATS since Feb. 6th.  Oral Roberts are only the second 15th-seed ever to make the Sweet 16 (Florida Gulf Coast, 2013).  They trailed Florida by six points with 4:44 remaining, then outscored the Gators 13-6, for an 81-78 win. Oral Roberts played at Arkansas on Dec. 20th as a 19-point underdog, and they had a 10-point lead at halftime. Arkansas stormed back in the 2nd-half and won the game by 11.  Arkansas shot only 4-of-24 from 3-point range, and still won 87-76.  Oral Roberts is 11-2-0 against the spread in their last 13 games as an underdog. 

Joe Wiz, one of nation’s top sports betting analysts takes the madness out of March Madness 2021

Arkansas survived Colgate and Texas Tech for their first Sweet 16 appearance in 25 years. Arkansas led Texas Tech by 13 with nine minutes left, and then had to fight off a 23-12 Tech run to win by just two. The Razorbacks have been lucky for bettors, going 12-3-0 ATS since Jan. 23rd. They find themselves as double-digit favorites over the surprising Oral Roberts team. Since Nov. 2019, Arkansas is just 2-7-0 against the spread as double-digit favorites.   The Wiz feels this line is a bit inflated and expects the Hogs to advance but Oral Roberts to Win the bet.
