The Oregon Ducks will host Pac-12 rivals Oregon State tonight, and the Ducks are asked to cover a significant spread. Oregon State is playing just it's third road game of the season, with a record of 1-1 over the first two. The Ducks have needed overtime to decide their last two game, both at home against unranked teams.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Ducks have failed to cover the spread in each of their last three home games, while the Beavers have covered the points in four of their last five versus Pac-12 opponents.

2. Turnovers - The Ducks turned the ball over 18 times in their last game, a home win over UC Irvine.

3. X-Factor - The Beavers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.

Selection: This is a play on the Oregon State Beavers (8*)
