Denver is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Wednesday games while the over is 20-6 in their last 26 road games. Oregon State is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games following a win while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games overall.

I get the case to be made for either side here, but I’m backing the under. I just don’t trust either offense as far as I can throw them and I honestly think this is likely going to be a 40-minute brickfest. This could be a first to 60 wins kind of game if we even get that high. Give me the under here.
