Oregon State vs. Utah Predictions

This could be an exciting game, as Oregon State is ranked No. 19 and Utah is No. 10 in the latest AP poll. Both teams like to get the job done with a steady running game and solid defense.

Utah takes that strategy to the extreme, and it resulted in a 24-11 win over Florida, 20-13 victory at Baylor, and 14-7 win vs. UCLA last week. The Utes aren’t your typical high-scoring Pac-12 team that will get into shootouts, and it seems to be serving them well.

The Beavers are coming off a tough 38-35 loss at Washington State in a back-and-forth game. Prior to that, Oregon State beat San Diego State 26-9, UC Davis 55-7, and San Jose State 42-17.

I’m expecting Utah to lead with defense once again and keep this one tight throughout. While I’m leaning towards taking the Utes +3 on the spread, betting under 44.5 total points feels like a more savvy wager.
