Might the Sooners lose back-to-back games here? I think so. They love to run-and-gun and put up a lot of points. The problem for them is their defense. Last game they lost by 6 points to Iowa State and I think they have had a few days here to think about their strategy. I believe they will try to slow things down a little here to avoid another loss against another high-scoring team. But I don't think it will work. West Virginia is a team about momentum. The last three seasons they are 14-3 ATS following a game in which they put up 80+ points. They are also 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a win and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a winning team. Take West Virginia to get it done here. Also take the UNDER. OU's high-powered offense is not so high-powered on the road where they lose about 10 points per game and average a pedestrian 75.8 per game. Their defense has also been better of late, allowing 71 per game over their last five games. The Mountaineers' offense has come back down to earth as well of late, averaging 74.3 per game in conference play. On the season, they are allowing just 70.3 per game at home. In the Bob Huggins era, WVA is 49-33 UNDER following a double-digit win. Take the home team and the UNDER.
