After starting the season with three consecutive wins, Oregon State finds itself in a very complicated stage of the schedule after losing to USC and now facing Utah.
Against the Trojans, the Beavers’ offense kept having problems with turnovers, giving up four interceptions to quarterback Chance Nolan, who has six interceptions and six touchdowns on the season. They only gained 320 yards in total, and things might get tough against a good Utah defense.
Oregon State’s hope is what its defense can do. Against USC, they conceded only 17 points and in three of their first four games the opponents couldn’t score more than 30. Of course, the Utes’ ground attack is one of the greatest in the country, so they will need to focus as much as possible to keep this good pace.
Betting on the Utah Utes
- Regular Season Record: 3-1
- Unibet Spread: -10.0 .
- Moneyline: (-370).
- Over/Under: 54.5
After falling in the first week to Florida in a tight match, the Utes have found their way back to winning ways with three very solid wins that keep them among the nation’s best at No. 12.
Utah’s offense has been on fire and after scoring 73 points against Southern Utah, they were able to score over 30 against San Diego State and Arizona State. The key has been their great ground attack, one of the nation’s best coming off a 205-yard performance against the Sun Devils.
Defensively, after conceding 29 points to Florida, they conceded just 27 points over the next three weeks. They allowed 261 yards via the air against Arizona State, but only six yards on the ground.
JefeBet Prediction
Oregon State won the last meeting between the two, but this Utah team is much more complete. They can attack well both in the air and on the ground; however, the Beavers left many questions about their defense. In addition, Oregon State has not given up a fumble this season, while the Utes have lost only one fumble and recovered seven.
Prediction: Utah Spread.
