BeaversEdge is back with another Reser Report! Giving you the inside scoop on everything Oregon State!
@ Arizona – Projected Chance To Win – 59.2%
-> Arguably the Beavers’ toughest road test to date, the Arizona Wildcats enter this matchup with a ton of confidence. While the conference road opener against a ranked WSU team may qualify as a “tougher” road game, this UA team just smoked the Cougars 44-6 in Pullman entering the bye, and very nearly upset USC and gave Washington all they could handle in the two prior weeks. The Beavers have a better than a coin’s flip chance to win this matchup per FPI, and I like their odds. It’ll be a massively tough game, but the Wildcats have the Beavers’ full attention and I like OSU’s odds coming off a bye week. Make no mistake though, this game will tell us a lot about how this season is going to finish…
@ Colorado – Projected Chance To Win – 81.3%
-> A game that looked a lot more intimidating several weeks ago, the oddsmakers like the Beavers in this matchup with an 81.3% chance to take down Deion’s Buffaloes. Shadeur Sanders and Travis Hunter are good enough to put up points and make plays on both sides of the ball, but I don’t see the Buffs being able to hang with the Beavers for four quarters. The second half of the season could be a long haul for the Buffs and the Beavers will take advantage.
