Oregon Ducks Prepare for Rivalry Game

As the No. 9 Oregon Ducks prepare to face the Oregon State Beavers, injury concerns persist for both teams. The Beavers lost offensive lineman Tyler Voltin for the season, while the Ducks are hopeful about the return of key players like offensive lineman Matthew Bedford and receiver Evan Stewart, who practiced fully after earlier injuries. Oregon is a 16.5-point favorite against Oregon State, despite having lost three of their last four games in Corvallis. The Ducks' recent performance shows promise, particularly with their rushing game, while Oregon State's running backs, Jam Griffin and Anthony Hankerson, are expected to make a significant impact. With Oregon's offensive struggles in their opening game, bettors are eyeing the over on the Ducks’ team total of 32.5 points, reflecting their average scoring in past matchups. The rivalry game promises intense competition as both teams look to assert their dominance in the 128th edition of their historic clash.
