Arizona vs Oregon State College Football Odds, College Football Predictions & College Football Picks: The Arizona Wildcats and the Oregon State Beavers open their conference schedules against each other tomorrow evening in Corvallis, Oregon. Both squads are coming off losses and could use a win with a full slate of Pac-10 games on the horizon. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:35pm ET at Reser Stadium. College Football Odds at BetUS.com have the Beavers listed as a slight -2.5 against the spread favorite.

Arizona lost a hard fought battle with the Iowa Hawkeyes last Saturday at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. Mike Stoops' squad Arizona vs Oregon State College Football Odds, Predictions & Pickssuccumbed 17-27 as they were unable to move the ball effectively against the Hawkeyes defense. Quarterbacks Nick Foles and Matt Scott have had difficulty replacing the production of the departed Willie Tuitama in the season's early going. Against Iowa the two combined for a 10-for-25, 105 yard, one touchdown performance.

Thankfully for Stoops, he has an all-world running back on which to lean. Nic Grisby had 75 yards on 11 carries in the loss to Iowa; on the season he has racked up 400 yards and three touchdowns in just 49 carries.

The Wildcats defense played well against the Hawkeyes, yielding just 338 yards in 37:56. The offense's failure to sustain drives eventually led to the defense's downfall, though, as Iowa put together a 14 play, 74 yard touchdown drive that took up 8:31 of the fourth quarter.

Oregon State suffered just the fifth loss in their last 21 home games as No. 14 Cincinnati got a 28-18 win at Reser Stadium last Saturday. The Bearcats offense produced 408 yards as quarterback Tony Pike aired it out to receivers D.J. Woods and Mardy Gilyard. The pair combined for 16 catches, 182 yards, and two touchdowns in the win.

The Beavers rushing attack was held in check by the Cincinnati defense as star tailback Jacquizz Rodgers managed just 73 yards in 20 carries. Quarterback Sean Canfield completed 29-of-45 passes for 240 yards and an interception. 

Oregon State got a 19-17 win when these two schools met in Tucson last year. Rodgers had just four carries for 20 yards in that meeting due to a first half injury.

College Football Odds Betting Trend: Arizona is 1-9 against the spread and straight up in their last 10 games in any role or location versus Oregon State. The Wildcats are 0-3 straight up the last five years as a road dog coming off a road loss. The Beavers are 7-2 against the spread and 7-2 straight up the last five years coming off a home loss.
