5 Star - Should be a lock to happen

Spread: TCU -5.5

2-star play on West Virginia covering (+5.5): There's just something about playing at the WVU Coliseum that causes TCU to crumble. The Frogs are 0-11 all-time in games played in Morgantown and with it being senior night, I expect the Mountaineers to go all out to try end the home portion of the schedule with a bang. I'm not completely sold on WVU winning the game, but I have zero confidence in laying 5.5 with the Frogs in what has been their house of horrors. 

Over/Under: 152.5

1-star play on the over: No real feel for the total here, but the over has cashed in six of West Virginia's last nine home games and in four of the last five road games for TCU. WVU did give up 47 points in the first half against the Frogs last month and they haven't improved on that end of the floor since. We'll lean over.

Last year's picks:

ATS record: 11-18 (38%)

O/U record: 17-12 (59%)

Overall: 28-30 (48%)
