WEST VIRGINIA +150 over Oklahoma State

Mountaineer Stadium at Milan Puskar Stadium – Morgantown, WV

Streaming: ESPN

3:30 PM EST. No matter how you slice it, the Cowboys of Ok State have been a cover machine as of late whether it be in weekly contests or in this series for that matter. Oklahoma State has covered their last six games overall after starting off 0-2 ATS in 2021. The ‘Boys have also gone 5-0-1 ATS in the last six games in this matchup. Expanding further upon the notion of Cowboy supremacy, they have won the last six meetings between them and West Virginia. When we combine these narratives with the fact that Oklahoma State is on the verge of entering the top-10 in the CFP rankings, it is without question going to entice a lot of folks into making the wrong wager. We on the other hand will make the right one and let the chips fall where they may.

The efficient market has spoken in this one too. as the Country Roads opened up as a +2½-point pooch (a live underdog number to begin with) and very quickly was bet up to the present asking price of +3½. When a price crosses over a key like 3, it reveals that a lot of dough has come in on the favorite.

On paper the Pokes should cruise into Bedlam with one loss, as they have TCU on deck in Stillwater who may still be reeling from the abrupt departure of an institution in Head Coach Gary Patterson earlier this week. They’ll follow that up with a game v Texas Tech, a team that may have five losses, before OSU finally squares off with the Sooners in the season finale. The discussion surrounding Stillwater once again is if Oklahoma State runs the table and wins the Big 12 are they finally going to get to a New Year’s Six Bowl or maybe even a CFP qualification if things fall their way after the many letdowns of yesteryear. The number presented here suggests Oklahoma State enthusiasts should hold their horses on such an outlook.

To recap, Ok State is coming off a 55-3 win over Kansas. They are 6-0 both straight up and against the spread in the last six games versus West Virginia. OSU has title hopes among other incentives while WVU is a 4-4 team going nowhere. This one checks every box for getting behind the underdog. That’s a massive danger sign and one that we will warn you again about getting behind. Keep the points, as West Virginia is every bit OSU’s equal and the proof is in the pudding, where the Mountain Mamas could easily be a one-loss team, just like OSU. West Virginia’s three losses were all by one score, which included a three-point loss to #4 Oklahoma. They also have two wins against other ranked teams and are the best 4-4 team in the entire country and it might not be close. Great opportunity here to take advantage of the market putting way too much emphasis on misleading records.
