Oregon State is winless after three games, and it’s not about to get any easier.
The Beavers lost to Cal 34-15 and future Pac-12 team Fresno State 36-27 at home. Then they went on the road, and that wasn’t any better as they lost to Texas Tech 45-14.
Could this be the week Oregon State finally wins? That might prove to be tough.
The Beavers will take on in-state rival Oregon, which is ranked No. 6 in the Associated Press Top 25. The Ducks are 3-0 after beating Montana State, Oklahoma State, and Northwestern by a collective margin of 132 points.

Oregon State vs. Oregon Prediction
I predict Oregon will win and cover the 34.5-point spread. I also project the game will go Over 56.5 total points.
Oregon is the No. 6-ranked team in the country and has been strong on both sides of the ball. While the Ducks have scored 162 points in their first three games, they’ve given up a mere 30 points on defense.
I expect Oregon State is going to have problems against a team like that on the road.
The Beavers are 0-3 and haven’t been particularly close in any of those matchups. They’ve only scored more than 15 points once in three outings, and that was in their 11-point loss against Fresno State on the road.
It is a rivalry game, so anything can happen. But I don’t think Oregon State is going to keep it close after what we’ve seen from the Beavers so far.
