Sports Chat Place: Take the over in Oregon State vs. Fresno State game
Chris Ruffolo writes: "I’m finding myself making a case for both sides here as Oregon State looked good against the better opposition between these two teams in week 1, but Fresno State’s no slouch and looks like they’re still moving along just fine even with a new coaching staff. That being said, I still like the over here as I think both offenses can keep everything moving and I think this is one of those games where both teams get into the 30s and we get a game that flies into the 60s and maybe even the 70s. Give me the over here."

It writes: "Fresno State will improve its record to 2-0 with a victory at home over Oregon State on Saturday. The Bulldogs behind quarterback Jake Haener will prove to be too much for the Oregon State defense that gave up 311 yards of total offense to Boise State but was helped by five turnovers made by the Broncos. Fresno State has covered the number in each of its last six versus a Pac-12 opponent."

Marcus Russell writes: "Fresno State opens the season at home versus Cal Poly on September 1st and then will have 9 days to prepare for Oregon State. The first road game for the Beavers is winnable, but I think will be an even tougher matchup than the season opener against Boise State. I’ll predict a Fresno State victory, 34-27."
