Oregon State vs Oregon Betting Prediction

Oregon comes into this matchup with a 10-6 record and they are currently third in the PAC-12 standings. The Ducks are coming off of a road loss to California, but they have been pretty solid at home. Oregon State has lost seven of their last eight games and they are only 1-8 on the road this season. The Beavers are coming off of a win against Stanford, but they did lose to Oregon by a score of 60-58 on February 17th. These two teams have very similar season stats, but Oregon is scoring about seven more points per game. Oregon is obviously the better team in this matchup, but I think we are going to see a closer game here. The Beavers already played the Ducks tough once and this is the last meeting between these teams in PAC-12 play. Take Oregon State here.
