San Diego State at Oregon State picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon State 41, San Diego State 13
Moneyline
PASS.
Oregon State has been terrific this season and it should continue to dominate opponents at home. The Beavers are ranked higher than UCLA, and the Bruins beat San Diego State by 25 points just last week.
Oregon State (-3000) should win with ease, but there’s no value on the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET OREGON STATE -24.5 (-110).
Oregon State may still be underrated. It beat San Jose State by 25 and covered a 14-point spread, and it beat UC Davis by 48 and covered a 24-point spread.
The Beavers have a dynamic quarterback at the helm. Uiagalelei is one of 15 quarterbacks who have at least 5 touchdowns this season without an interception, and there are 45 QBs that had 5 touchdowns. He is the real deal and should be able to command this offense to another big day.
San Diego State is 0-2 ATS since its Week 0 victory. The Aztecs have won by 8 in a game they were favored by 34 points and lost by 25 in a game they were 12.5-point underdogs.
The stars align for the Beavers to come out and put on a show at home. Take OREGON STATE -24.5 (-110).
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 48.5 (-115).
The Beavers have a high-octane offense and have scored 97 points through 2 games. They rank 8th in the nation in yards per play. The Aztecs gave up 35 to the Bruins, who had scored 27 in their season-opening win against Coastal Carolina.
There’s no reason to believe they’ll be able to slow down Oregon State. SDSU is 1-2 O/U while Oregon State is 2-0 O/U. San Diego State has at least contributed in each game, scoring at least double figures. That should continue as well. Take OVER 48.5 (-115).
