Oregon State In a Must-Win Matchup
Last week, the Oregon State Beavers won the Pac-12 “championship” by beating the only other team still in the conference, the Washington State Cougars. Oregon State’s offense was electric in that game, putting up 41 points to snag that game down the stretch to snap a five-game losing streak. This week, Oregon State’s offense will need to show up once again, as the Beavers need to keep up with Ashton Jeanty and the Broncos to reach six wins and bowl eligibility.
Boise State Looks For a Win Prior to MWC Title Game
Boise State locked up a spot in the Mountain West Conference championship game by beating Wyoming on Saturday to move to 7-0 in conference play. But they were far from convincing in that game, sneaking past the Cowboys in a 17-13 snoozer. This week, Boise State’s main goal will be to stay healthy for their conference title game the week after. But the Broncos have to win this game as well to remain one of the top-four ranked conference champions in college football, which would give them a bye in the College Football Playoff.
Oregon State vs Boise State Prediction
Boise State should be able to win this Oregon State vs Boise State contest. But the desperation of Oregon State and the lack of dominance from the Broncos in recent conference games does not have us convinced that Boise can win by nearly three touchdowns to cover the spread here. Instead, we will take the points with Oregon State in what should be an interesting game from a number of angles on Friday afternoon.
