San Diego State vs Oregon State Prediction
The Oregon State Beavers are the more talented team and should win, but this is a tricky spot. One, San Diego State has a good coach who will have his guys ready, and this offense has potential. Also, Oregon State has the Oregon Ducks on deck, so there’s a potential look-ahead spot for the Beavers on the road. Oregon State is 4-8 ATS in its last 12 games as a road favorite. San Diego State is 7-4 ATS in its last 11 games when an underdog of 4 or more points. I’ll take my chances and grab the points with the San Diego State Aztecs at home.
