Spread: West Virginia +2.5
1-star play on West Virginia covering: Vegas sure made it tough to pick this game this week, let me tell you. I feel like both the line and total is exactly where it should be which is why I don't have a strong opinion on either one. I do think the Mountaineers can put an end to their two-game skid if they don't have the critical mistakes that they've continued to have throughout the first five games of the year. I do think it will be a tight game from start to finish, so I'll side with WVU here and take the points.
Over/Under: 44.5
1-star play on the under: I guessed this total would open at 44 and I wasn't far off. Both of these teams struggle to put up points and have really strong defensive units. If you like points, this isn't the game for you. Lean under.
