The 15th ranked Utah Utes hit the road for their third Pac 12 game of the season, as they take on Oregon State at Reser Stadium. Utah comes into the game with a record of 4-1 on the season and fresh off a home win against Washington State. The Oregon State Beavers on the other hand are 2-3 on the season and coming off a game where they beat a less than stellar UCLA team on the road. Oregon State was 4.5 underdogs in that game. Out of the Beavers’ 3 losses on the season, 2 have been 3 point losses. The Beavers have basically been in every game.
The Utes have been led offensively by quarterback Tyler Huntley. Huntley on the season has thrown for 1,146 yds on the season while completing 85/114 passes. He has thrown for 7 TD’s while throwing zero INT’s. The starting quarterback has also rushed for almost 200 yds and has added 3 TD’s on the ground. What makes the Utes offense hard to defend is Huntley’s ability to spread the ball around. There are four receivers that have over 10 receptions on the year. The number one target is Bryan Thompson. He has 11 receptions for 310 yds and 2 scores on the season.

Free Betting Pick: Oregon State Beavers +13.5
While Utah is ranked 15th on the season, and has a great defense, I think Oregon State does enough to cover the spread. Oregon State has put up some big numbers offensively this year and I think the Beavers offense and defense will feed off the energy from the crowd. Why? This is a homecoming game for the Beavers, so it should be a sell out and the players should feed off that environment. I think Utah will win but I think Oregon State does enough to cover the spread. Final Score, Utah Utes win, but fail to cover, 34-28
