Can Lightning Strike Twice?

Thursday October 2, 2008
For the second straight week, the Oregon State Beavers will try to pull a major upset, this time when the travel to Utah to face the No. 15 Utes. Utah is favored by 11.5 points and the total is at 53.

There are several factors favoring Utah in this game, as the Beavers are due for a bit of a letdown following their defeat of USC last week and it's a big revenge game for the Utes, who were pummeled last year by the Beavers. It's also a key game for the Utes if they want to advance to a BCS game this year.

As is the case with several of the teams playing tonight, it's difficult to predict exactly which team will show up. Will we see the Beavers from last week or will we see the same OSU team that lost to Penn State 45-14? It's difficult to tell, but their road loss to Stanford doesn't instill a lot of confidence in the team away from Corvallis.

Today's plays is in the Utah vs. Oregon State game and can be found at Free Sports Betting Picks located in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.
