Oregon State Beavers Odds

Oregon State Beavers Football

The 2024 Oregon State Beavers football team enters the season in a period of uncertainty. Not only does it remain to be seen what conference the Beavers will ultimately play in after the implosion of the Pac-12, but they're also breaking in a new coach. Jonathan Smith left for Michigan State and Trent Bray, who had been the defensive coordinator under Smith, was promoted to head coach. With all that change and uncertainty it's hard to get a read on the 2024 Beavers, though that could also make them the perfect team to play spoiler throughout the season. Who could they upset? Well, our college football power ratings may help you figure that out. 

Oregon State Beavers Point Spreads

Betting on point spreads is one of the most popular ways to bet on college football. Point spreads are bets on the margin of victory in a game, which help to make bets on either team interesting, even when one team is expected to be much better. Last season, Oregon State finished 8-5, but was just 6-6 against the spread.

Here’s an example of a Beavers spread:

• Oregon State +13 (-110)
• Oregon -13 (-110)

With a 31-21 victory for Oregon, the Beavers are still winners against the spread because their margin of defeat (10) is less than the spread. Oregon has to win by at least 14 points to cover, while a 13-point win is a tie in the eyes of bookmakers. In that latter case, bettors on both sides are refunded their stakes.

Oregon State Beavers Over/Unders

Over/unders, also known as totals, are bets on how many points will be scored in a game. You can also bet over or under on an individual team's point output.

For example, books might set the total in the Beavers' game against Oregon at 62 points. If the game finished 42-21, over bettors are winners, while under bettors would win with 61 or fewer points scored. Which team wins doesn't matter -- only the total number of points on the final scoreboard.

Oregon State Beavers Moneylines

These are bets on who will win the game outright. Bets on the team less likely to win, the underdog, pay out more than bets on the favorite.

Against Oregon, the Beavers might be +365 underdogs. In that situation, a $100 bet would be worth a $365 profit if they pulled off the upset. On the other hand, in a situation that saw them as -365 favorites, you’d have to risk $365 to make a $100 gain.

Oregon State Beavers Props

If you use fantasy football as a way to stay interested in games even when your team’s prospects are bleak, another option is betting on player props. Just like fantasy points, player props are about single player stats at the end of the game.

Some Beavers props you could make include odds on wide receivers to find the end zone, over/unders on a running back's rushing yards and bets on who will score the first points of the game.

Oregon State Beavers Futures

The Beavers aren’t very well-regarded in the futures market, where they’re being given low offs to reach the College Football Playoff or win the national championship.

This type of a bet, a future, is just a wager that takes place over more than just one game, usually a full season. Other Oregon State futures include the over/under on total wins for the season and odds on certain players to win positional awards.
