Bet on Fordham vs. West Virginia
These two have no recent meetings to consider for today’s contest. Both teams are pretty poor in their trends as Fordham has failed to cover in four straight road games and 8 of their last 28 non-conference contests. West Virginia clearly has more talent and I think their offensive capability will be too much for Fordham to handle. The public betting is strongly with West Virginia today and I agree with them.
