The set-up: This is the conference opener for both teams and I absolutely believe that home court will prove to be the difference maker in the end. Oregon has won four of the last five in the series and it's been even better when on its home floor with seven straight victories over the Beavers. Oregon State is ripe for the picking as it comes in with zero momentum having lost three of their last four. Oregon tate averages 73.3 PPG and it allows 64.9. Oregon has won four straight and it averages 72.1 PPG and it allows 62.5.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Oregon is 12-4 ATS in its last 16 at home, while Oregon State is just 1-3-1 ATS in its last five following a SU win and only 2-9 ATS in its last 11 played on the road following three or more straight games at home. Lay the points.

8* play
