Oregon State Beavers vs Utah Utes: Best Picks
Although the Beavers' offense is balanced and will find a way to keep it close, the Utes' defense is arguably somewhat stronger than Oregon State's. Having just limited USC to 17 points, Oregon State should be able to handle Utah's explosive offense, and Chance Nolan, who threw four interceptions in Week 4, can only get better.
Pick: Under 54.5 (-115)
