Spread & Over/Under Predictions for WVU at UCF

Can the Mountaineers cover the spread?

Each game day, we will release an article on our thoughts on the spread and the over/under of West Virginia games. The star ratings next to the play describe the overall confidence in that particular play.

Star ratings:

1 Star - Not very confident

2 Star - A little confident

3 Star - Fairly confident

4 Star - Very confident

5 Star - Should be a lock to happen

Spread: UCF -7.5

2-star play on UCF covering (-7.5): When playing away from home, West Virginia is losing on an average of 15.8 points per game. UCF has covered five of its last six games, including four straight. WVU shot the lights out in their win over Kansas and I'd be surprised if that high level efficiency travels with them on the road just a few days later.

Over/Under: 140.5

1-star play on the over: The over has cashed in six of the last seven West Virginia games, while the under has hit in four of the last five for UCF - something has to give (duh). I've been back and forth on this one and even though I don't expect WVU to shoot like they did on Saturday, the defensive end will continue to be an issue for them as it has been all season long. I'll lean to the over.

Last year's picks:

ATS record: 6-12 (38%)

O/U record: 11-7 (63%)

Overall: 17-19 (50%)
