College football odds, picks and prediction for UCLA Bruins vs Oregon State Beavers. Week 7 betting free pick and game analysis.
Two ranked opponents will do battle when the Oregon State Beavers play host to the UCLA Bruins. This matchup is sure to be as close as they come, but our college football picks don't expect the Beavers to put up too many points.The Pac-12 is doing its part to make Week 7 entertaining as there are three ranked-on-ranked matchups this weekend. One of those anticipated matchups sees the No. 15 Oregon State Beavers face the No. 18 UCLA Bruins.
Oregon State’s offensive efficiency has mostly come against a woeful group of opponents — San Jose State ranks dead last in EPA per play defensively, UC Davis is an FCS school, San Diego State ranks 127th in success rate and can’t tackle anyone, and California ranks in the bottom third of more defensive metrics than not.Even if the efficiency is there, the volume might not be.
After finishing ninth nationally with 1,556 rushing yards and 16th with 14 rushing touchdowns, RB Carson Steele transferred from the Ball State Cardinals to UCLA this year. He shared touches to start the year but has still managed to find the end zone three times and most recently made his case as the team’s workhorse back, handling 30 carries for 141 yards against Washington State.
That’s a common opponent these two share and while Oregon State’s 38-35 road loss to the Cougars doesn’t directly translate to this matchup because that’s not how football works, it’s still concerning the Beavers trailed 35-14 in that game and surrendered 528 total yards on 8.1 yards per play to an offense the Bruins handled with extreme ease a week ago.
