The matchup
Texas State dropped its last outing 45-46 to the Boise State Broncos on the road in Week 9. Before that, the Bobcats won back-to-back: 20-17 over the Utah State Aggies at home in Week 8, and a 66-27 blowout of the Colorado State Rams in Week 7. The only other loss this stretch came in Week 5, a 29-31 road defeat to the San Diego State Aztecs, with a 63-10 rout of the Incarnate Word Cardinals in Week 4 mixed in.
Oregon State's Week 9 trip to the Fresno State Bulldogs ended in a 22-38 loss on the road. The Beavers had rattled off three straight wins before that: 48-30 at home over the Washington State Cougars in Week 7, a 66-14 blowout of the San Diego State Aztecs in Week 6, and a 56-26 road win over the Colorado State Rams in Week 5. Oregon State also beat the UTEP Miners 33-7 on the road in Week 4.
Key matchups
No individual players or starting lineups are listed for either side this week, so the matchup comes down to what each team has done on the scoreboard. Texas State has scored 305 points this season while allowing 256. Oregon State has scored 321 points while allowing just 200, a gap that stands out when both offenses have shown they can put up numbers in a hurry.
The pick
The market favors the Oregon State Beavers by 5.5 points, with a market score of 39-33. That lines up with Oregon State's tighter scoring defense, 200 points allowed compared to Texas State's 256, which gives the Beavers the cleaner path if the total of 71.5 plays out anywhere close to the number.
