Oregon vs Oregon State Prediction

The current betting odds have Oregon State listed as a 16.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oregon State has looked good in their games this season with their 2-0 record overall. They won their season opener at home against a team from the FCS, but they looked great against San Diego State last week with a 21-0 win on the road. They have a new head coach this season and they have lost a lot of talent from last year due to conference realignment, but the defense has been good so far and this is a game they will bring their best effort for. Not only is this a rivalry game for them against Oregon, but Oregon is also one of the teams that left the Pac-12 and have left Oregon State in this peculiar situation, now in a 2-team conference. This game is going to be personal for Oregon State, and Oregon hasn't looked great in their games this season even though they have a 2-0 record overall. Oregon really struggled on offense in their season opener and that was against a team from the FCS, barely beating Idaho 24-14. They weren't great last week either as they played a stronger team, Boise State, and had a much closer 37-34 win. They also gave up 34 points in that game as the defense looked terrible, and that will be something Oregon State can exploit to stay in this game. Oregon's offense has already been struggling at times and Oregon State has a defense that can give them trouble here. Oregon State is going to put everything they have into winning this game and even if they can't pull off the upset, they will fight right until the end to keep this game close. The best way to place a bet here is on Oregon State to cover the spread in this game. 

Oregon Oregon State Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, September 14, 2024 (3:30 pm ET start time) is Oregon 21 OR State 14.
