Prediction
Our prediction for this game is that the under of 44 points is the best bet. Several factors contribute to this prediction:
Firstly, the weather forecast for Corvallis, OR, indicates rainy conditions during the game. Rain often hampers passing offenses and makes the field slippery, leading to fewer scoring opportunities.
Secondly, both teams boast strong defensive units. Utah's defense has been exceptional, and Oregon State has also shown defensive strengths. With solid defenses on both sides, it's likely that points will be harder to come by.
Considering the expected rain and the strong defensive play, betting on the under of 44 points appears to be a prudent choice for those looking to wager on this matchup.
