Randy’s Free Pick
The UCLA Bruins are obviously the better, more talented team and capable of blowing the doors off here, but this is a lot of points for a road team. The Oregon State Beavers will be up for this game at home and the crowd will be out in full force. Also, 6 of Oregon State’s 12 covers have come as double-digit underdogs. Give me the Beavers.
