Against the spread
BET WEST VIRGINIA -3 (-115).
Oklahoma State is 1-1 ATS on the road this season. However, the strength here is how good West Virginia is at home.
It is 3-0 ATS at home with wins over Pitt and Duquesne as a favorite and a 7-point win over Texas Tech as a 6.5-point underdog. The Mountaineers are 2-1 ATS in conference play as well.
Their strength at home and against conference opponents make them the play here. Back WEST VIRGINIA -3 (-115).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 49.5 (-110).
West Virginia is 3-3 O/U this season and has scored 24 or fewer points in 3 of its last 4 games. Against Power 5 opponents, it has 2-3 O/U and has topped 24 in just 1 of 5 games.
Oklahoma State is 2-4 O/U and has scored 30 or fewer in 5 of 6. It has allowed 21 or fewer in 3 of 6 as well.
