Oregon State Beavers vs. Appalachian State Mountaineers Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. I just think that App State can get whatever they want offensively in this game as the Beavers have really struggled on the road, but I do think that the Beavers showed some life offensively in the last game against Houston and I think they can still contribute here against App State. Give me the over here.
