Spread: Iowa State -18.5

1-star play on West Virginia covering (+18.5): I mean, it wouldn't completely surprise me to see Iowa State win this game by 30. However, 18.5 is a lot of points and with the way RaeQuan Battle can score it and the presence Jesse Edwards has underneath, I think they can keep it respectable. They found some answers in the win over UCF. Let's take the near 20 points.

Over/Under: 143.5

5-star play on the under: If West Virginia is on the road, I'm always looking at the under. The offense doesn't travel with them for whatever reason. In their last five road contests, the Mountaineers are averaging just 62.2 points per game. Let's not overthink this... there's only one way to play it. Hammer the under.

Last year's picks:

ATS record: 10-16 (38%)

O/U record: 16-10 (62%)

Overall: 26-26 (50%)
