Oregon-Oregon State football preview: Predictions, odds, how to watch final rivalry game
The final week of Pac-12 play for the foreseeable future kicks off on Black Friday with one of the oldest rivalries in college football. The No. 6-ranked Oregon Ducks (10-1, 7-1 Pac-12) host in-state foe and the No. 15-ranked Oregon State Beavers (8-3, 5-3). These two teams first met on Oct. 1, 1894, with the Beavers winning 16-0. They've played each other 127 times in total and match up for the last time in the Pac-12 conference this Friday.
The Ducks are enjoying their second five-game win streak of the season. Since losing in Week 7 to No. 5 Washington in Seattle, Oregon's rattled off wins with ease. Only one of those wins was by less than 10 points: Week 11's 36-27 victory over USC when the Ducks let up in the fourth quarter. Oregon took care of business last week with a 49-13 win over Arizona State and former Ducks assistant coach Kenny Dillingham.

Quarterback Bo Nix continued his Heisman Trophy campaign with a career-high six touchdown passes and his second 400-yard passing game of the season.
“Feels awesome — it's a complete team win,” Nix said post game. “We played really good on offense, they protected great, ran the ball great and our receivers do what they do every week.”
On the other side, the Beavers come to Eugene after just their third loss of the season. All three have been by three points or less and this was the tightest: a 22-20 loss to Washington. Oregon State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei couldn't complete a pass to Jack Velling on fourth-and-5 late in the fourth quarter and the Huskies squeaked by to stay undefeated.

It's been a frustrating year at times in Corvallis. If just one of the three close losses Oregon State's endured this season goes the other way, the Beavers are playing for a spot in the Pac-12 title game. Closing the regular season out with a win over in-state rival Oregon wouldn't be the worst consolation prize.
This rivalry game is one of just two games this week featuring two ranked opponents. Both teams are fighting for something in Week 13. Oregon wants to put its stamp on the rivalry en route to a Pac-12 title game and potential berth in the College Football Playoff. Oregon State hasn't won in Eugene since 2007 but could give the Ducks one last loss before Oregon leaves for the Big Ten.
