UC Davis vs. Oregon State betting prediction
The Oregon State Beavers entered this year coming off a 10-3 season. The biggest question mark was at the most important position as many wondered how former Clemson Tigers quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei would perform after joining the program via the transfer portal.
He responded with a five-touchdown game in his Oregon State debut. Look for the Beavers to continue to play well as they beat the UC Davis Aggies by at least 27 points.
Pick: Oregon State Beavers -26.5 (-110)
