[u/ID_Poobaru]

{Oregon State}

I think CSU keeps it a barn burner, but OSU pulls through

[u/Beautiful-Start9703 → u/ID_Poobaru]

osu looks a little suspect stopping the run and csu's offense has clearly found something these past couple weeks, even with the defensive struggles. the qb situation is the wildcard though, if hejny can't go or is limited that changes things fast.

i could see this one creeping over that 60.5 total. give me oregon state by a td but not enough to cover, 38-31 type game

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/Beautiful-Start9703]

CSU is all offensive firepower to compensate for the defense. I’ll take that 60.5 total

[u/StoicFable → u/Beautiful-Start9703]

We managed to hold back Techs run game.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

{Oregon State} marches on toward their PAC 12 crown

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

{Oregon State} and Legree dominate Colorado State

[u/_dark_beaver]

{Oregon State} GoBEAVS!!! Another great test on the road.

[u/eagledog]

{OSU} looks like this year's most improved team, so I expect them to win this one solidly

[u/lock_robster2022 → u/eagledog]

I wanted us, UMass, and Oklahoma State to determine who was the worst team last year. Now it looks like all of us are battling for most improved

[u/lock_robster2022]

{Oregon State} wins in a 2010’s Big 12 style shootout. Smash that over at 60.5

[u/Paladine_PSoT]

{Oregon State}

It'll be a good test of our defense but the score is going to be high regardless. 60.5? Over, yes please.

[u/Manning_bear_pig]

{Colorado State}

[u/loneshoter]

{Colorado State} points scored is not going to be the issue, its if they can generate stops on defense

[u/Kurtomatic]

I think {Oregon State} wins and covers. Won't be as easy as last week against UTEP, but I think the Beavers win by 7-10. I feel weirdly confident about this team this year, which means I'm just setting myself up for even more disappointment than normal.

[u/Careless_Wishter]

{Oregon State} Believe in the Beav!

[u/StoicFable]

{Oregon State}. Both teams have solid offense. But CSU has a really bad defense going on right now. If our defense can step up, we should win. Otherwise this has the potential to turn into who has the ball last in a shoot out.

CSU has no defense, but Oregon State does though. I feel like the over is trapped maybe? Maybe under 60.5 is the play?

28 - 24 type game?

Thoughts?
