Oregon vs. Oregon State picks, predictions: Civil War 2023 game odds, lines

It's the final week of the college football regular season and in the Beaver State that means one thing: the annual renewal of the Civil War Game between Oregon and Oregon State, and this edition of the rivalry is loaded with plenty of history.

This game marks the final time these teams will meet as members of the Pac-12 Conference, although the schools announced they will continue the game after the Ducks leave for the Big Ten.

And it can help serve as a launching pad for Oregon to move closer to the league title bout. A win over the Beavers clinches a spot for the Ducks in the Pac-12 Championship Game in what would be a rematch against Washington, which handed them their only loss of the season to date.

Just 8 combined points keep the Beavers from being undefeated right now, and they're coming off a 2-point loss at home to Washington last week.

What do the experts think of the matchup? Let's see how the College Football Power Index computer prediction model projects the game.
