Matchup History

Colorado’s 62-42 win over Oregon State back on January 7th, 2023, made it three straight wins for the Buffaloes and 6 wins in the last 7 meetings.

Trends

Colorado is 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a loss while the under is 5-2 in their last 7 games overall. Oregon State is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 home games against a team with a losing road record and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a double-digit home loss while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 home games against a team with a losing road record.

Pick

I’m backing the under here. Colorado is a solid team but they’re a lot more effective from a cover perspective on home soil and are scoring under 63 PPG in their last 5 games. On the other side, Oregon State is struggling, a la the team that won just three games all of last season and they’re scoring just over 60 PPG in their last five games. All in all, this feels like a first to 65 wins kind of game so give me the under here.
