Bet on West Virginia vs. Oklahoma State
West Virginia has won five of its last six meetings with Oklahoma State and the Mountaineers have covered in seven of the last eight in this series. They have also covered in four straight trips to Oklahoma State. While neither team is doing a great job of covering right now, I still feel the Mountaineers have the better talent. Oklahoma State has failed to cover in five straight at home as well. The public betting is backing West Virginia and I agree.
