Home Dog Alert! Oregon State +1 hosts Cincinnati

Anne Hathaway's hotness will sneak up on you, and so could the Beavers as home dog.

So many people I trust like the Oregon State Beavers at home against the vicious offense of the Cincinnati Bearcats.

FootballJesus - Beavers are the pick and this guy is particularly sharp on Pac 10.

Phil Steele – Beavers by 4

While both teams are young (10 and 9 ret starters), UC is making the odd trip to the Pacific NW (lost L/6 vs non-conference BCS teams by an avg of 21 ppg on the road) and probably won’t be prepared for the crowd volume of Reser Stadium. Oregon St usually struggles early in the year, especially their first road game but by the 2^nd home game of the season they have it figured out and have won that game by an average of 39-14 (last 4) including wins over USC and Boise St!

Beavers are replacing the entire secondary and that seems like a huge challenge versus Tony Pike and Mardy Gilyard, but two things I immediately search for every week are (1) home dogs and (2) long trips. College kids especially those at the mid-cap programs just do not travel well. Hell, LSU didn’t travel well to Washington in Week One.

Get your two units on Oregon State +1.5, interestingly there is no moneyline here either.
