Spread: Kansas State -9.5

2-star play on Kansas State covering (-9.5): I went bold picking the Mountaineers to cover Saturday and it worked. Tonight, I'm going the other direction. Saturday marked the first time this season WVU covered the spread on the road. I doubt they can pull that off two times in three days. Yes, K-State has struggled of late but they are 4-1 ATS in their last five and are coming off a 10-point win over No. 25 BYU. 

Over/Under: 142.5

3-star play on the under: You know the drill... if the Mountaineers are on the road, look for data to back the under. Well, we don't have to do much digging for this one. K-State and WVU rank 13th and 14th respectively in the Big 12 in points per game. The under has cashed in 13 of the last 20 for Kansas State AND West Virginia has yet to score 70 or more in a true road game this season. 

Last year's picks:

ATS record: 11-16 (41%)

O/U record: 17-10 (63%)

Overall: 28-26 (52%)
