Oregon State Beavers @ Stanford Cardinal College Football Picks

Oregon State Beavers @ Stanford Cardinal College Football Picks: Oregon State has a lot of work to do with they want to go Bowling – talk about a dizzy schedule the last couple weeks of the seasons; first it’s Stanford this week and it only gets tougher with a match-up against their big time in state rival, Oregon a week from Saturday. But I’m not taking the Beavers because I think they’re going to pull the upset, nope – I’m pretty sure they’re losing – I’m taking OSU because they play their best football against their best opponents (like when they smoked USC 36-7 last week or when they beat Arizona in Arizona or when they played a tight one against Boise State).

Now, Stanford is what I’d call a better team than all those other teams maybe outside of Boise, but maybe including Boise – they are good. And this game is on the road for the mighty Beav, but they’re getting a tid-bit more than two touchdowns, and they way they’ve played up to their opponents’ level – it seems like a good enough bet to me.

The Beavers may be 1-3 on the road this season, but they are 3-1 ATS on the road this season, and we just so happen to be in the ATS business here. Defensively, the Beavers are better than they’ve played in half their games this season – if they can step it up, a nice cover here would do the trick. Then all they have to do is beat Oregon next week to secure a bowl-bid.
