California Golden Bears vs. Oregon State Beavers: Match Details
Fixture: California Golden Bears @ Oregon State Beavers
Date & Time: Saturday, November 12, 9:00 p.m EDT
Venue: Reser Stadium, Corvallis, Oregon
California are struggling on the offensive side of the field as they have only been able to score 24.7 points on 385 yards per game. They have a solid passing attack with senior quarterback Jack Plummer under center, completing 62.6 percent of his passes with 16 touchdowns to six interceptions. They also have a solid running back in freshman Jayden Ott as he has run the football 131 times for 725 yards with nine total touchdowns (seven rushing and two receiving).
On the defensive side of things, they are giving up 26.8 points on 427.7 total yards as they have struggled to defend the passing game. They need to continue forcing turnovers as they have 15 total takeaways (10 interceptions and five fumble recoveries) in the year thus far.
Oregon State are more solid offensively, averaging 31.6 points on 406.9 total yards per game right now. They should expect their backup quarterback and freshman Ben Gulbranson to be under center as Chance Nolan could miss his fifth straight game. Freshman running back Damien Martinez should see the ball more often in this game now that he has recorded 98 carries for 624 yards with five rushing touchdowns.
Defensively, they have managed to hold their opponents to 22.9 points per game. They have been able to limit the passing game against them to 238.1 yards through the air. Oregon held Washington to just 100 rushing yards as well, but moving the ball will be a bit difficult against the Beavers.
California Golden Bears vs. Oregon State Beavers: Betting Odds
California Golden Bears vs. Oregon State Beavers: Pick
Jack Plummer has been doing well this season and has thrown for 3+ touchdowns in two of his last three games. He threw for two touchdowns last year against Oregon State, so you can expect a pair of touchdown passes in this game as well.
Best Pick: Jack Plummer Over 1.5 TD Passes (+110)
California Golden Bears vs. Oregon State Beavers: Prediction
The quarterback situation in Oregon State is giving us some value in this game as the total is in flux here. These offenses are able to score the ball well and combined for 56 total points scored last week. The over has hit in six of their last eight games against one another so it will be easy to expect points to fly off the board here.
Final Prediction: Total Points Over 47 (-110)
