Spread & Over/Under Predictions for WVU vs. Ohio State

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: Ohio State -9.5

3-star play on Ohio State covering (-9.5): The Buckeyes shoot the ball extremely well and can score it consistently from all three levels. West Virginia is going to have to match buckets to have a chance and I'm just not confident they can do that for forty minutes. We're going to lay the points with Ohio State.

Over/Under: 146.5

1-star play on the over: The over has cashed in eight of the last twelve for the Buckeyes but just five times in the last fifteen games for the Mountaineers. Something has to give here. Kerr Kriisa, RaeQuan Battle, and Noah Farrakhan add a lot of scoring ability to the Mountaineer offense and with this likely being an up and down game, I'll side with the over. 

Last year's picks:

ATS record: 6-6 (50%)

O/U record: 7-5 (58%)

Overall: 13-11 (54%)
