Oregon lost to Oregon State earlier this month, so a win in Thursday’s rematch would not only provide some sweet revenge but would help the Ducks keep pace in the race for top spot in the Pac-12. Even as a double-digit favorite, No. 14 Oregon seems like a strong play at home.

Sportsbook Odds Analysis
Oregon State has won three straight over Oregon but is just 3-7 on the road this season, has lost eight of its last 11 games overall, and Oregon is nationally ranked with 19 straight home wins dating back to last season, so the Ducks opened as 10-point home favorites. The total opened at 136.5 points, as this game features two of the Pac-12’s four best offenses, with their last 10 meetings averaging 135 points per game.
Oregon State News & Notes
The Beavers dropped their third straight with a 74-73 loss to Arizona State on Saturday, continuing what’s been a horrendous conference season, as they are 10th in the Pac-12 with a 5-10 conference record.
The loss also dropped Oregon State to 3-8 SU over its last 11 games and 1-5 SU in the last six on the road, but the Beavers can hang their hat on having already defeated each of the Pac-12’s top three teams this season.
One of those teams includes rival Oregon, whom the Beavers defeated 63-53 earlier this month. Oregon State has actually won four of the last five matchups against its state rival, but the majority of those wins came at home, while Thursday’s game is in Eugene — where the Beavers are 1-6 SU in their last seven visits.
Oregon News & Notes
Oregon is coming off a split from a two-game Arizona road trip, losing to Arizona State and beating Arizona, but the No. 14 team in the country has won three of its last four games and is in a three-way tie for second place in the Pac-12 standings.
Offense is the name of the game for the Ducks: they’re second in the conference in scoring and lead the Pac-12 by shooting 38 percent from behind the arc, which is the 12th-best team percentage in the country. It’s no surprise that the OVER is 18-9-1 in Oregon’s games this season, including 6-3 in its last nine contests.
The Ducks will also look to continue their pristine play at home, where they are 14-0 SU and 9-5 ATS this season, with their home winning streak actually at 19 games dating back to last season.
