The Buffaloes are 1-5 ATS in their last six overall and 2-9-2 ATS in their last 13 at home. Colorado is 1-4-1 ATS in the last six Saturday games.
Meanwhile, the Beavers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five road games and 0-3-1 ATS in their last four overall. Oregon State is 0-3-1 ATS in their last four Saturday games.
PICK: I’m going to try Colorado, but probably not going near this one. There’s not much to get excited about here. That said, it should be a competitive game. Colorado hasn’t scored more than 58 points in any of their last three, and Oregon State has been below 60 in their last two games. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a higher-scoring game here, though. Ultimately I think Colorado can pull off the cover but I’m staying away.
