Result: Win
Taking OREGON STATE here. Will back the Beavers here. I thought this team was going to be pretty good this year. A little disappointed in them going 6-6, but I expect a big effort here to end the year with a winning record. Right off the bat I will tell you that when I see 6-6 clubs being favored over 8 win teams, I take an extra special interest in the game. What I see here is a prolific Oregon State offense that doesn't get much help defensively. They did have a 5 game losing streak. Those teams, Stanford, USC, Arizona State, Washington and Oregon. That is a tough stretch. I know that Boise has been a small-school darling, but they have lost their HC. Not sure they are going to be excited here. It isn't like they are playing a proverbial BCS Conference power-house. How 'up' will Boise be as they have an assistant leading them. As for the Beavers. They want to wipe that 5 game losing streak out of their mouths. QB Sean Mannion had a monster season tossing for 4400 yards and 36TDs. He has a great WR in Brandin Cooks who reeled in 120 passes for nearly 1700 yards. 5* Best Bet OREGON STATE
