Spread: Oklahoma State -5.5

1-star play on West Virginia covering (+5.5): There's no good play here. Oklahoma State is 0-4 straight up against high majors at home while West Virginia is 0-3 against the spread in true road games and winless in all games played away from Morgantown this season. In a spot like this, I'll take the points. Oklahoma State's lost six straight -- is that really a team you want to lay 5.5 points with?

Over/Under: 143.5

4-star play on the over: The Mountaineers have been much better offensively at home as opposed to on the road. In Big 12 Conference play alone, West Virginia is averaging 78 points at home (three games) while just 59 on the road (three games). Oklahoma State is putting up a notch over 60 points in its current losing streak. Take the under.

Last year's picks:

ATS record: 7-12 (38%)

Overall: 18-20 (50%)
