Got'em!
2* Fresno State +8.5
A number of trends point us toward the Bulldogs in this one. The home team is 9-1 ATS when they meet, Fresno is 7-0 ATS as a home puppy, and Oregon State is a poor 2-7 ATS as an away fav. Fresno has 13 starters returning from last year, and Hill has obviously built a quality program in Fresno. Three new starters in the secondary should allow QB Pinegar (missed last week vs. Tennessee) some success throwing the ball, and with Oregon State's struggles away from the tough turf in Corvallis (3-8 on grass), we will be gladly taking the points.
2* Over 52
This meeting averages 72 ppg the past 3 years, and, as mentioned above, the Oregon State secondary is a major ???. With numerous talented players on offense (9 starters back for the Beavs), and two veteran QBs, the points should be ringing up the scoreboard tonight.
Thanks, Dogg, good luck to you, too.
