Latest Odds : OKST -15.5 Total 73.5
On Friday August 30, the Oklahoma State Cowboys visit Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon to play the Oregon State Beavers in the opening game of the 2019 college football regular season for both.
The Cowboys upset Missouri in the Liberty Bowl in 2018 to avoid a losing season. The Cowboys will have a new quarterback in Dru Brown or redshirt freshman Spencer Sanders, who is a true dual-threat under center. The Cowboys have a new offensive coordinator in Sean Gleeson who helped Princeton become one of the nation’s top scoring teams in the FCS. Look for the Cowboys offense to spread the field and put up points on the board. The Cowboys defense has a strong back seven.
Oregon State begins its second season under coach Jonathan Smith the former record-setting quarterback with the Beavers. Last season the Beavers finished a paltry 2-10. Jake Luton returns as the Beavers starting quarterback. Transfer Tristan Gebbia will push Luton for the starting QB job. Jermar Jefferson returns at running back. The top target at wide receiver will be Isaiah Hodgins. Expect little change on defense. Last season the Beavers were last in points against at 45.8 per game and total defense at 536.8 yards per game.

Free Betting Pick: Oklahoma State Cowboys -15.5
Oklahoma State will start the season with a new quarterback and a strong set of skill position players. New offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson is expected to have the Cowboys playing an up-tempo spread offense that will take advantage of the poor Oregon State defense. The Beavers have a strong running game and capable quarterback, but were dead last in yards against and points against on defense last season and expect little change in 2019. Final Score Prediction, Oklahoma State Cowboys win and cover ATS 48-30
