The Colorado Buffaloes (1-5, 1-2 Pac-12) travel to Corvallis to battle the Oregon State Beavers (5-2, 2-2) Saturday at 8 p.m. ET (Pac-12 Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Colorado vs. Oregon State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Colorado comes into this game after winning its 1st game of the season last Saturday. In a 20-13 overtime victory over Cal, Colorado got what might be its only win this season.
For Oregon State, it has been a tale of 2 seasons. In 3 non-conference games, it averaged 45.6 points per game (PPG), while it only scored 19.5 PPG in its 4 conference games. The Buffaloes will provide a different beast then the Beavers’ other conference foes did.
While Oregon State lost to USC and Utah, the Beavers were able to beat 2 outmatched teams in Stanford and Washington State. Colorado is more the latter than the former, and this should be another OSU victory.

Colorado at Oregon State picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon State 37, Colorado 3
Moneyline
The Beavers (-3000) will easily handle the Buffaloes, but it’s not smart to risk 30 times your potential profit. NO PLAY.
Against the spread
TAKE OREGON STATE 23.5 (-110).
Colorado won last week, but this is a different week. After its 1st win, the Buffaloes will take a step back in this game against the Beavers.
Coach Jonathan Smith has the Beavers playing well. They were able to hold USC to 17 points and Washington State to 10 points in their 2 conference home games. This is another home game for the Beavers, and they will hold the Buffaloes down as well. This game is going to get out of hand. The only question is when the Beavers will call off the dogs.
OREGON STATE -23.5 (-110) is my FAVORITE BET in this one.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 48.5 (-110).
This could bite you. With Oregon State giving up only 17 and 10 points at home to conference opponents, I do not foresee Colorado getting more than this.
In the 2 conference home games, the Beavers have only scored an average of 19.0. Although they should score far more than this against the Buffaloes it may not be more than 40 and this is what would be needed for this to go Over.
I’m still willing to put a little bit on UNDER 48-5 (-110),
