The Oregon State Beavers (3-1) head into Rice-Eccles Stadium to battle the Utah Utes (3-1) Saturday at 2 p.m. ET. (Pac-12 Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Oregon State vs. Utah odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
USC scored 40 or more points in their first 3 games, but Oregon State held them to only 17 in a 3-point loss last Saturday. If not for a last-minute TD pass from Trojans QB Caleb Williams to Jordan Addison, the Beavers would have pulled off the upset.
Utah has stormed back from their season opening 29-26 loss to Florida by crushing everyone since then. Their last game, a 35-7 victory over San Diego State, had a lot of extra action surrounding the game.
Both teams are extremely physical with big men on both sides of the trenches. This will be a hard-fought game. The winner will have an inside track at a place in the Pac-12 championship game.
Utah is No. 13 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Oregon State at Utah picks and predictions
Prediction
Utah 37 Oregon State 31
Money line
PASS. The line is too high to make a wager.
Against the spread
OREGON STATE +10.5 (-115) is the right side here.
Both these teams are physical. Oregon State has the best offensive line in the conference and potentially the country. Utah also has a stellar offensive line.
Both teams use the run game to set up the pass game. This will provide ample points on both sides.
Oregon State won this matchup 41-34 at home last season. This time, Utah should win. But they will not cover.
Over/Under
Take the OVER 54.5 (-115) to hit in the mountains.
This game hit 75 last season. It could get close again this season. The run game of Oregon is going to move the ball behind a great offensive line. The passing game of Utah will move the ball against the Oregon State defense. Although Oregon State has 2 NFL caliber CBs, Utah will still be able to score at home. This will lead the game to go Over as both teams play at a fast pace. The Over 54.5 (-115) is my favorite play of this game.
