Many oddsmakers are taking a clear stance for this contest, dropping the spread to under a field goal, which would suggest sharp money is coming in on the visitors. I'm happy to take the 3 points while available but would grab WVU at any number as I think they have a great chance of winning this one outright.

Baylor (4-1) managed only 280 yards of offense in a 24-14 loss at Oklahoma State last week. The Bears are dangerous on the ground, but here they'll run into a West Virginia defense that is allowing only 87.8 rushing yards per game (11th) and 2.8 yards per carry (13th).

The 2-3 Mountaineers could just as easily be 5-0. Even in last week's last-minute loss to Texas Tech, they outgained the Red Raiders by 78 yards while putting up 424 yards of total offense.

Mountaineers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. Mountaineers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Bears are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 games as a home favorite. Bears are 6-15-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. Underdog is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

8* play on West Virginia.
