Oregon vs. Oregon State Prediction, Pick Against the Spread
Posted by Vegas Martin in College Football Picks on December 2nd, 2009 | Comment »Monday Night + Sunday Night steak goes to 6-0. We then put that money on UNC last night and were up even more. I’m looking into where to put my money next, which is why I’m eying up Thursday’s College Football card.
OREGON STATE BEAVERS @ OREGON DUCKS -10
Oregon has been unstoppable, but Oregon State has been extremely impressive as well. Going into this season, I don’t think any of us expected Oregon State to be an 8-3 team. These teams stats are practically identical on both sides of the ball.
Both teams resumes are extremely impressive. Oregon State beat UCLA by 7, Stanford by 10, and @Arizona State by 11. Oregon State’s losses are to Cincinnati by 10, Arizona by 5, and @USC by 6. Oregon has impressive wins over Arizone State by 23, USC by 27, Cal by 39. Their 2 losses come via Boise State in week 1 where they lost 19-8 and 3 weeks ago @Stanford by 9.
When Oregon plays at home, they are dominant. They are 6-0 at home. The scores of their last two home games, 44-21 and 47-20, and that was to Arizona State and USC respectively, two high quality teams. Oregon State has proven that they can play on the road, but Oregon has shown that they are a dominant football team at home. When you can beat USC 47-20, you have one hell of a football team. However, Oregon State hung in there @USC, losing by the score of 42-36.
I think the home field is the difference in this one, and I think the Ducks win this one, but I do not like the spread at +10 and feel that Oregon State has a good chance …
