The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles are not exactly a pushover, and they hung around with St Mary’s, but it’s fair to question if they have the depth to give Houston a similar effort. The Houston Cougars are arguably the best team in the country, and their defensive effort through 2 games has been ridiculous. Houston wins and covers numbers. One of the more solid teams in the game. I’ll lay the chalk.
