The Ducks are ranked No. 9 in the College Football Playoff rankings, while the Beavers check in No. 21.
Oregon had their CFP hopes dashed at home against Washington 2 weeks ago, falling 37-34 at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. It returned the favor and squashed Utah’s hopes of a Pac-12 Championship Game appearance with a spirited 20-17 win last weekend.
Oregon State has rolled into the Top 25 with wins over Cal and Arizona State the past 2 weekends, while going 5-1 across the past 6 contests. Oregon State has been a friend of the bettor, too, cashing in 5 straight, and 9 of 11 games overall.

Oregon at Oregon State picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon State 30, Oregon 27
Moneyline
OREGON STATE (+130) has improved dramatically from the start of the season, and it will be ready for the Civil War against Oregon.
The home team has won each of the past 3 meetings in this series, and the good times should continue to roll for the home side here.
Oregon QB Bo Nix continues to nurse a right foot injury. He didn’t practice much this week, although the Ducks are being mum on his availability ahead of this rivalry game.
The strength of OSU has been its defense this season, ranking 25th in total yards allowed per game (330.6), while checking in 19th against the run (111.4 YPG). The Oregon State D allowed just 20.3 points per game to rank 27th.
Against the spread
OREGON STATE +3 (-111) is worth a look if you expect this game to come down to a last-second field goal and/or a 2-point conversion late to decide things.
The Beavers have won 2 of the past 3 meetings in Corvallis, and this Oregon State team is ranked and playing with a lot of confidence.
My suggestion is to bet no more than 1½ UNITS between OREGON STATE +3 (-111) and the OREGON STATE ML (+130).
Over/Under
Play UNDER 57.5 (-107), but go very, very lightly.
The Under has cashed in 11 of the past 15 games on the road for Oregon, while going 4-1 in the past 5 in the month of November. That includes last week’s defensive battle with Utah.
For Oregon State, the Under is 5-1 in the past 6 home games against teams with a winning overall record, and 4-1 in the past 5 following a straight-up win.
