Why Colorado can cover
Colorado has only lost one game by this margin in 2023, losing to USC, Stanford and UCLA by less than two touchdowns. The Buffaloes are still trying to attain bowl eligibility in their first year under head coach Deion Sanders, giving them plenty of motivation this week. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders has completed 71.1% of his passes for 2,637 yards, 22 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
He is facing an Oregon State defense that was without two starters in the secondary against Arizona last week. Those absences proved costly for the Beavers, who allowed 275 passing yards and three passing touchdowns in a 27-24 loss. Colorado has won four of the last six meetings between these teams, and Oregon State is just 1-9 in its last 10 games in Week 10.
Why Oregon State can cover
Oregon State has been one of the most profitable teams in college football over the last two seasons, covering the spread in 12 of its last 15 games. The Beavers have won six of their first eight games, with all six victories coming by double digits. They need to win out and get some help in order to reach the Pac-12 title game in Las Vegas next month.
Junior quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has thrown for 1,791 yards, 17 touchdowns and four interceptions, completing 59.2% of his passes. Sophomore running back Damien Martinez has racked up 763 rushing yards and two touchdowns, averaging 6.4 yards per carry. Colorado has only covered the spread at a 6-13-1 clip in its last 20 games, and Sanders was sacked seven times in the double-digit loss to UCLA last week. See which team to pick here.
