Prediction:
While this is a revenge game for Oregon, it is coming off an emotional win on the road and rivalry games tend to be closely contested. With the Beavers looking forward to nothing more than one of the additional postseason tournaments, this is like a championship game for them tonight. While I’d still certainly expect Oregon to get the job done on the moneyline, I like OSU to keep it close enough to make its bettors happy.
