Spread: West Virginia -4.5
1-star play on West Virginia covering: This line is right where it should be. Both teams have been involved in several down to the wire finishes in Big 12 play and that appears to be where this one is headed as well. Typically, I take the points in the situation but I'm going to put a small lean on the Mountaineers. Iowa State is 1-4 ATS in its last five and has lost four straight one the road.
Over/Under: 135.5
1-star play on the over: Iowa State has one of the best defenses in the Big 12 but hits over 46% of their field goal attempts. With West Virginia seemingly shooting it better from the stripe combined with Erik Stevenson's recent scoring outburst, I'll take the over.
My picks
ATS record: 13-10 (57%)
O/U record: 13-10 (57%)
Overall: 26-20 (57%)
