OUR PREDICTION: West Virginia should be hot after dropping its first game of the season last week to Oklahoma State. The Mountaineers will win easily today but will they cover? I’d probably pass on this one but I lean WVU. The Jayhawks are just 3-13 against the spread in their last 16 conference games and are 7-24-1 against the number in their last 32 road games. If I’m betting on this one, I’m taking the better team and hoping to avoid a backdoor cover in the end.
