Key to the game - Oregon St. vs. UNLV

Beavers giving 7 in Vegas.

UNLV is 12-5 as a home dog and has some firepower

OS lost all their DB's this year, no picks or sacks last week.

UPSET pick here....UNLV wins

My wife is an OSU alumni and she says the Beavers. Because I live here I agree. Seriously, I still like the Beavs in this one but not by a landslide. This game is close. 31-28.

Tight one here with OS coming out on top. I thought the Beavs looked good in the first half but were a little sloppy in thr last half of the second. They need to step it up if they expect to beat better teams in 2009.
