Stanford at Oregon State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Oregon State 30, Stanford 27
Money line (ML)
OREGON STATE (+115) is a value play as short ‘dogs on their home field. RB Jermar Jefferson has run roughshod over opponents, gobbling up 675 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in his five games to date. On the flip side, Stanford (-135) ranks 100th in the nation with 201.0 rushing yards per game allowed. That will be the difference in this conference tilt.
Against the spread (ATS)
OREGON STATE +3 (-115) is a great play at home catching points, too, if you’re not feeling them straight up. Stanford is 1-2-1 ATS overall, although they did cover last time out, while Oregon State enters on a 4-0 ATS roll.
The Cardinal are 1-7-1 ATS across the past nine road outings and 1-4-1 ATS in the previous six as a favorite. The Beavers are 13-3 ATS in the past 16 overall dating back to last season, and 12-2 ATS in the past 14 as a ‘dog.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 52.5 (-110) is the lean, as Oregon State has coughed up 32.0 PPG through five outings, and Stanford has yielded 29.8 PPG to date. Neither team is terribly gifted on the defensive side, and they’re not forcing a lot of turnovers, either.
