Both these teams have experienced heavy opt outs on both sides for this game. Both QB's Hartman and DJU are gone and a a bevy of offensive and defensive players are gone which leaves no offense in this game. This game will stall out with failed drives and long drives with no conversions or points, possibly more field goals than touch downs which leaves this game heading to the Under the Total. Both the backup QB's are inexperienced and have played very little. This game will be left with just the defenses so this game will grind. When ND has played a more defensive team this season the game total stayed Under. This line has continuously dropped since it came out as it reflects the opt outs. The oddsmakers anticipate a low scoring game.

The total has gone Under in 4 of Oregon State's last 5 games.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
