College Football Odds: Oregon State-Utah prediction, odds and pick

Oregon State Beavers will try to upset the Utah Utes for the second consecutive year this weekend. The Beaver's last defeat came at home to USC, but they are still 3-1 in the Pac-12. Utah's opening-season loss in Florida ignited some fire under them, and they have since won three straight games.

Oregon State came up short against USC last week. The Beavers are in the midst of a two-game opening conference schedule. They play Utah on Saturday. Jonathan Smith's team is on the rise under him. Last year, the Beavs upset Utah. This year's game will be a test of their defense and their offense. Utah is an offense that is averaging 37.8 points per game. Chance Nolan will have to shake off his four-interception outing last time.

Oregon State and Utah are playing each other this weekend. The Utes are the better team on paper. They have been consistent under head coach Kyle Wittingham. Their quarterback, Cam Rising, has completed 67% of his passes and thrown for ten touchdown passes this season. His running mate Tavion Thomas has scored four times this year. Oregon State beat Utah last season, but they are better this time.

Oregon State is not going to be able to drop men into coverage and get pressure with four guys up front against Utah's strong offensive line. Utah is giving up only 244 yards per game.
