Oregon vs. Oregon State Betting Prediction
I have not been impressed by Oregon this season. The Ducks were favored by 49 points against Idaho in Week 1 and only won 24-14. In Week 2, Oregon was favored by 18 points over Boise State, and they managed to squeak out a 37-34 win on a last-second field goal. The difference may be at the quarterback position. The Ducks had veteran Bo Nix as their signal-caller last season, but he now plays for the Denver Broncos.
Ducks head coach Dan Lanning brought in former Oklahoma QB Dillon Gabriel to run the offense this year, and the results have been mixed. Gabriel has posted a QBR of 53.4 this season, which ranks 66th in the country. The Ducks’ offense is averaging 5.9 yards per play this season. Last year Oregon was gaining an average of 7.6 yards per play. It just seems like Oregon’s offense isn’t quite as explosive this season as it was last season. That matters when trying to cover a big number on the road in a rivalry game. It also helps that Oregon State is an FBS-best 16-3 ATS at home since the start of the 2021 season. For those reasons, I’m taking the Beavers and the points at home on Saturday afternoon.
