<p>The NCAAF continues with Bowl games next weekend, and we have a Las Vegas Bowl tilt on Saturday, December 17, so feel free to check out the best Gators vs. Beavers betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Florida and Oregon State will battle for the $2,900,000 prize when they meet at Allegiant Stadium. The Beavers are firm -10.5 point favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 52 points. These non-conference rivals will meet for the first time.</p>



<p><strong>Gators dropped to .500 after another loss</strong></p>



<p>The Florida Gators (6-6-0, 7-5-0 ATS) lost four of their previous six games, including the last two to Vanderbilt and Florida State to drop to a .500 record (3-5 in conference play). Florida allowed a season-high 45 points in a 45-38 loss to the Florida State Seminoles, in a pretty entertaining game. The teams combined for 957 yards and 48 first downs, so nearly 80,000 people in the stands enjoyed it.</p>



<p>Anthony Richardson completed nine of 27 passes for 198 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Ricky Pearsall was impressive in his career night as he had 148 yards and a pair of receiving touchdowns on five catches. Jonathan Odom also found the end zone through the air, while the Gators were excellent on the ground. Trevor Etienne rushed for a career-high 129 yards and a TD on 17 carries, while Montrell Johnson Jr. also had 17 rushing attempts for 85 yards and a touchdown. On defense, Trey Dean III and Kamari Wilson combined for 17 tackles.</p>



<p>WR Justin Shorter (undisclosed), WR Xzavier Henderson (lower body), and WR Ricky Pearsall (lower body) are questionable to face the Beavers on Saturday.</p>



<p><strong>Beavers finished in the top half of the Pac-12</strong></p>



<p>The Oregon State Beavers (9-3-0, 10-2-0 ATS) finished the regular season with six wins in seven games to end in the top half of the Pac-12 conference. They are on a three-game winning streak; the Beavers concluded the regular campaign with a 38-34 home victory over in-state rivals Oregon Ducks. Oregon, who missed out on the opportunity to fight for the conference title after this defeat, had a massive 31-10 lead late in the third quarter, but the Beavers scored three touchdowns in the space of five minutes in the fourth to secure a comeback W.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ben Gulbranson completed six of 13 passes for 60 yards and two interceptions. He did make amends on the ground with a pair of rushing touchdowns. Isaiah Newell also scored two rushing TDs, Deshaun Fenwick added one, and Damien Martinez recorded 103 yards on 15 carries. Defensively, Kitan Oladapo was a monster with a career-high 17 tackles, while Omar Speights and Kyrei Fisher-Morris combined for 24.</p>



<p>TE Luke Musgrave (undisclosed) and WR Anthony Gould (undisclosed) are questionable to feature on Saturday against the Gators.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Florida:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-8 ATS in the last 11 non-conference games</li><li>4-9 ATS in the last 13 neutral site games</li></ul>



<p><strong>Oregon State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>6-0 ATS in the last six games overall</li><li>4-0 ATS in the last four games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game</li><li>5-1 ATS in the last six non-conference games</li></ul>



<p><strong>Florida Gators vs. Oregon State Beavers Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Florida is not playing well recently and will probably be without several key offensive players, so I am going with Oregon State in this one. The Gators have a poor defense this year that is allowing 28.8 points per game opposite the Beavers’ solid D that is allowing 21.4 ppg. Both teams are excellent on offense; the Beavers are a bit more successful in that regard, but their better defense is the biggest reason I am backing Oregon State. Also, the Beavers have been in a way better form in the last few weeks.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Beavers at -8.5 (-133)</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>I am going with a high-scoring affair mainly because of Florida’s lenient defense. The Gators allowed 31+ points in four of their last six games, and I am sure Oregon State can score 30+ here. The Beavers managed to do so in each of their previous three games. Over is 7-0 in the Gators’ last seven games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game; Over is 5-2 in Florida’s previous seven neutral site games, while Over is 5-2 in the Beavers’ last seven neutral site games.<strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over 51.5 points (-120)</p>
