The Denver Pioneers (9-4) take on the Oregon State Beavers (6-6) Wednesday. Tip from Gill Coliseum is at 10 p.m. ET (Pac-12 Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Denver vs. Oregon State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
Denver — a team that has struggled to score for seasons — has gone Over in 10 of 11 games this season that had a total. However, the Beavers have only produced 3 Overs of their 11 games with a total.
Oregon State is a lower-tier Pac-12 team and will not make the tournament, but it should still be able to compete with Denver — although it might be a bit closer than Beavers fans want it to be.

Denver at Oregon State picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon State 72, Denver 68
Moneyline
PASS.
Oregon State (-370) is the better team despite having the worse record.
Playing at home will also make a difference for the Beavers who are 6-1 on the home court while the Pioneers are 3-3 on the road, but there’s no value on the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET DENVER +8.5 (-115).
With Denver able to score as it has this season, this game should not be a blowout. While Oregon State will win, I can see the Pioneers keeping this game close to the end, and 8.5 points is a few too many.
Over/Under
BET OVER 137.5 (-115).
Denver is 10-1 O/U this season, but Oregon State is only 3-8. I think Denver will keep this game close enough to force the Beavers to score, so this game could reach the low 140s. The OVER 137.5 (-115) is my favorite play in this matchup.
