OUR PREDICTION: The Mountaineers have been a good bet coming off a loss, covering in 10 of their last 14 games following defeat. So even though they lost to Oklahoma at home, I like WVU to bounce back off that defeat with a sound victory this evening. The Wildcats are also just 5-11 against the spread in their last 16 games coming off a win and they’re not catching enough points against what should be a focused and determined Mountaineers team.
