Sam Houston Bearkats vs. Oregon State Beavers Prediction
I’m on the Bearkats here. I get the case to be made for the Beavers at home as Corvallis in the past has been a tough place to go on the road and win. However, we’ve seen the Bearkats step up to the plate in quite a few spots already this season and battle tough, and I think this game is no different. I think the Bearkats are live to win this game so give me Sam Houston and the points here.
