- Spread: Utah -23.5
- Over/Under Total: 54.5
Utah was finally taken down, and they’ll look to come back home to Salt Lake and bounce back vs the Oregon State Beavers. The Beavers are coming off a tough one themselves, losing to Colorado in a struggle fest, eliminating any hope of Pac-12 win this season.
This Oregon State team just isn’t talented enough to even think about them pulling off the upsets down the road. Sure, Utah might be in a slump after their loss, but the team is too talented to drop two straight, with the second coming at the hands of Oregon State.
This defense will take a toll on Seth Collins, and Oregon State probably won’t have much of an offense going here. Utah should bounce back with ease, and hopefully get back on track with their offense, using the Beavers as a stepping stone.
