College Basketball Picks & Predictions for Thursday, December 16, 2010

COLUMBIA, MO (TheSpread) – No. 13 Missouri is looking to remain unbeaten at home on Thursday when the Tigers host Oral Roberts at 8PM ET.
Missouri is 8-1 on the year and 5-0 at home while Oral Roberts is 4-5 on the season and 3-4 on the road.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com have released their odds for this game and made Missouri a 15-point favorite at home. The over/under has been set at 150. Here is a look at the trends and my pick for tonight’s game.
Oral Roberts vs. Missouri, 8PM ET
Missouri is just 1-6 against the spread in their last 7 home games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a win while Oral Roberts is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. I like a pick of the Golden Eagles on the road as Missouri is having a good season, but the Tigers have a number of wins by 10 points or less.
