The 2013 Civil War lacks the mystique we\u2019ve seen in recent years, largely due to the recent play of the Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers. <\/p>\n

Buy Razor Ray’s NCAA FOOTBALL Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong> The luster may be gone, but fans shouldn\u2019t tune out just yet.<\/p>\n The Beavers have defined the term \u201cups and downs\u201d this season. They started the year by inexplicably dropping the opener to FCS Eastern Washington, but they turned it around by winning six straight.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, they dropped their next five, which is the streak they enter this contest with in Week 14.<\/p>\n As poorly as Oregon State has played, it is still a dangerous team throwing the ball. Sean Mannion and Brandin Cooks are still a dynamic pass-catch duo, and the team is still third in passing yards as a result.<\/p>\n Unfortunately for Oregon State, it\u2019s the ground game that has caused the Ducks to fall off their pedestal this season.<\/p>\n Arizona and Stanford both pounded the ball down the throats of Oregon\u2019s defense, and that\u2019s something Oregon State can\u2019t do at this point in the process.<\/p>\n The Beavers are just 120th<\/sup> in the nation in rushing yards per game. They tally a measly 72.8 yards per game, which means their passing game needs to be as crisp as it\u2019s ever been to keep up with Oregon\u2019s high-octane offense. The Ducks haven\u2019t looked like themselves late in the season, and there are a number of reasons why.<\/p>\n Head coach Mark Helfrich hasn\u2019t been able to adjust the way Chip Kelly once did. Marcus Mariota has been banged up. Maybe most importantly, De\u2019Anthony Thomas and Josh Huff appeared to be in the wrong mindset when they stated that the Rose Bowl was no big deal.<\/p>\n If the Ducks come in with the right mindset\u2014the one that says a rivalry game means the world to any true competitor\u2014they shouldn\u2019t have too much trouble with the Beavers.<\/p>\n Oregon State\u2019s defense is just 95th<\/sup> in the country, and quite frankly, Oregon should have little trouble putting up points.<\/p>\n Just as importantly, Oregon must remain disciplined. Penalties have killed them all season, but it\u2019s the recent string of turnovers that has put them in unrecoverable situations.<\/p>\n If the Ducks take care of the football and recognize that a two-loss season isn\u2019t worth crying over, they\u2019ll be in good shape.<\/p>\n Prediction: Oregon 54 \u2013 Oregon State 23<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OSU Beavers vs Oregon Duck – Betting Preview The 2013 Civil War lacks the mystique we\u2019ve seen in recent years, largely due to the recent play of the Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":69699,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1141],"tags":[1464,20690,5406,2740,2300,2737,949,2468,60547,20704],"class_list":["post-69698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-beavers","tag-beavers-vs-ducks","tag-civil-war","tag-ducks","tag-oregon","tag-oregon-ducks","tag-oregon-st","tag-oregon-st-beavers","tag-oregon-st-beavers-vs-oregon-ducks","tag-oregon-st-vs-oregon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69698"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69698\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69703,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69698\/revisions\/69703"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
