The Oregon State Beavers (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12) and Colorado Buffaloes (4-4, 1-4) meet Saturday at Folsom Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Oregon State vs. Colorado odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Oregon State emerged from a bye week last Saturday, but it suffered a disappointing 27-24 loss at Arizona as a 3-point favorite. The Beavers are still 3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 outings. As a double-digit favorite, the Beavers are 2-1 ATS this season. The Over is 5-3 in 8 games overall.
For Colorado, it’s unlikely the stars and athletes will continue flying into Boulder to see a .500 team. CU has imploded in recent weeks, dropping 4 of 5 games, including that embarrassing collapse at home against Stanford in 2OT. CU is just 2-3-1 ATS in the past 6 games, and it has alternated Under and Over results in each of its 8 games overall.
Coach Deion Sanders shuffled his offensive coaching staff this week as former NFL coach and CU quality control analyst Pat Shurmur will take over play-calling duties. Offensive coordinator Sean Lewis will signal plays to QB Shedeur Sanders, but the plays are now Shurmur’s call.
