Oregon State Beavers vs. Colorado State Rams Prediction
I’m on the Beavers here. It’s interesting to see Oregon State laying this many points, but I think this is just a spot where the Beavers are starting to look more confident and Colorado State’s defense has been horrendous in back-to-back weeks. I think this is a smash spot for Oregon State to come to play so give me the Beavers in this one.
