Take Oregon St. with the Points
TCU has a right to be a favorite against Oregon State, but can the Horned Frogs cover the 13.5-point spread?
Oddsmakers from online sports book BroburySports.com currently list TCU as 13.5-point favorites against Oregon State. The over/under has been set at 49.5.
TCU was 8-5 against the spread in 2009 and hit the under 6 times in 11 games. The Horned Frogs are 5-1 ATS when favored by 10.5-to-21 points over the last two seasons. The Horned Frogs are also 15-5 ATS on Saturday’s during that stretch and 16-8 ATS in all games the last two seasons.
Oregon State was 7-5 against the spread in 2009 and it split the over/under in 12 games. The Beavers are 8-2 ATS as an underdog the last two seasons. In all games over the last two years, the Beavers are 16-9 ATS.
This game is intriguing as both teams have explosive offenses, but in these circumstances, the scoring tends to be less than anticipated. TCU has run through opponents in past seasons, but Oregon State has not been an easy team to get past. With the Beavers explosive talent, look for them to keep things close and cover while the under also hits.
