Oklahoma vs West Virginia Final Betting Analysis:

West Virginia’s a strong team at home. The Mountaineers have not only gone 5-0 straight up, but they’ve also gone 4-1 against the spread. The key for WVU is their defense. It’s not great, but it often steps it up on the Mountaineers’ homefield.

WVU has held Kansas to 22, Baylor to 14, and TCU to 10 in the Mountaineers’ last 3 home games. They won’t hold Oklahoma to under 30, but just slowing down Murray and the Sooners’ offense should lead to a win.
