The Oregon State Beavers have been very good at home this season, but they host a smoking hot Oregon Ducks team tonight. The visitors come in as winners of eight of their last nine, and they've upset some of the top teams in the Pac-12 during that span. I like the visitors to remain hot tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Ducks have owned this series in recent seasons, winning six of the last seven meetings. The Beavers failed to cover the spread in six of those seven games.

2. Offense - The Beavers have relied on solid defense to win ball games, but their offense has been brutal. They are averaging just 53.6 points per game over their last five, 18 points fewer than Oregon during that span.

3. X-Factor - The Ducks were 8-of-20 (40%) from beyond the arc in a win at Stanford on Sunday, and if they shoot like that tonight it will be lights out for the Beavers.

Selection: This is a play on the Oregon Ducks(10*)
