beavers 22

Las Vegas - Rolling up to Corvallis and trying Oregon State -1.5 points over Washington. The line on this game opened Huskies -3, switched to the Beavers -2.5, and has dropped back to -1.5. OSU had a GIGANTIC win at USC last week, beating the Trojans 45-27. State QB Chance Nolan was deadly accurate, completing 15 of 19 for 213 yards, but this game was won on the ground. The Beavers gobbled up 322 yards against SC, with B.J. Baylor romping for 158. Southern Cal ain't great, but they ain't chopped liver. Washington ain't terrible, ain't great, but MAN do they have holes on defense. The only other team that the Huskies played with a strong ground game was Michigan, and the Wolverines PULVERIZED 'em for 343 yards. Yea, that's THREE HUNDRED FORTY THREE. Oregon State leads the Pac 12 in rushing with 226 yards per game, while Washington is 10th against the run. And as you know, there are ONLY 12 teams in the conference. Ouch! Beavers for the money!

Also gonna throw down a spectacular three team 10-point teaser starting with Mississippi and bump the Rebels up from +15 to +25 points against Alabama. Sure Nick Saban is 23-0 against his former assistants, but PLUS TWENTY FIVE should be more than enough in this spot. 'Bama has crushed the lousy teams, as usual, but when they get in against a quality squad, the results are tight. Just look at the Florida game where the Crimson Tide barely held on for a 31-29 win. Then we look to Penn State and drop the Nittany Lions from -12 to -2 points over Indiana. Close up shop with Boston College and plump up the Eagles from +15 to +25 points against Clemson.
