Meanwhile, the Buffaloes are 5-1 ATS in their last six in November and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 overall. Colorado is also 2-5 ATS in their last seven at home.
PICK: I’m going to try Oregon State here, but staying away. Both teams need a rebound effort after spotty games last weekend. The Beavers gave up 517 yards to Cal along with 7.1 yards per play, 25 first downs and a 13-of-19 rate on third-down tries. With their three turnovers, it was impossible for the Beavers to keep up.
As for Colorado, they gave up 568 yards to Oregon, including 256 rush yards, 32 first downs and 72 total plays. The Buffaloes should match up much better in this upcoming game, but I think Oregon State can power out the cover if they play well.
