Both Oregon State and Arizona State are battle-tested this early season, as the Beavers have battled Boise State and TCU, both ranked top-5 in the nation. The Sun Devils have suffered a pair of heart-breaking losses to top-10 teams Oregon and Wisconsin in Madison. The Sun Devils offense should play with confidence knowing they rolled up nearly 600 yards of offense on Oregon last week and traded points with the nation’s no. 3 offense. Our lines for college football show some support for the Sun Devils in this contest as bettors believe Arizona State can hang tough the whole way with Oregon State.

Arizona State’s Dennis Erickson was the head coach at Oregon State from 1999-2002. He stresses fundamentals and can’t be pleased with last week’s seven turnover performance that cost the Sun Devils a chance to upset Oregon. Now back on the road, the Sun Devils defense will be counted on to slow down the Rogers brothers as Oregon State’s running back and wide receiver are the big play threats for the Beavers. Front walls are important on both sides of the ball, and Arizona State’s defense has surprised in the early season as they were able to hold up well against the big boys from for Wisconsin while also running the ball very effectively against both Oregon and Wisconsin. 

Arizona State transfer quarterback Steven Threet struggled last week with some costly interceptions. His ability to minimize turnovers like he did at Madison will give the Sun Devils a solid shot at the upset as they proved they can run the ball on both Wisconsin (169 / 6.0 YPR) and Oregon (210 / 4.6 YPR). Deantre Lewis and Cameron Marshall form a solid 1-2 punch in the backfield running behind an improved offensive line. Oregon State is allowing over 200 rushing yards per game this season and the lines for college football favor Arizona State in this match-up. The Beavers have also struggled to pressure the opposing quarterbacks consistently, as they have generated just two sacks.

NCAA Insider Tip: Oregon State has been out-gained by nearly 200 yards per game in three college contests this season. The Beavers has lost their last six conference openers ATS. After winning in Tempe for the first time in 16 years in 2009, Oregon State is now just 5-19-1 against the lines for college football redemption-seeking Sun Devils.
