Baylor vs. West Virginia Week 7 Game Predictions
The Baylor Bears and the West Virginia Mountaineers have had more than a week to get ready for their Thursday night matchup in Morgantown, W.V.
The Bears and Mountaineers are both coming off losses in Big 12 action, and the Mountaineers are looking for their first Big 12 win.
So, who wins? The Inside the Bears staff provides its predictions below.
Matt Galatzan, Editor-in-Chief: Baylor is out to change the narrative of their team after a disappointing showing in the first half of the season. I think they dispose of West Virginia rather easily here, and get back into the win column. Baylor 41, West Virginia, 17
Collier Logan, Staff Writer: Baylor should take care of business in their Thursday night showdown with the Mountaineers. Baylor 35, West Virginia 13
Matthew Postins, Staff Writer: I covered this game on a Thursday night in Morgantown a few years ago. That time, Baylor was rebuilding under Matt Rhule and the Mountaineers were as good as they would be under then-coach Dana Holgorsen. Now? Baylor is entrenched as a Big 12 contender and the Mountaineers are trying to land their first Big 12 victory. Both teams have been off for a week. Who did the better job of tuning up the past 10 days? I’m betting it’s Baylor. Baylor 33, West Virginia 26
Cole Thompson, Staff Writer: Despite coming off a bye week, playing in Morgantown is tricky. You saw last season how the Mountaineers struggled to pick up wins on the road but went 4-2 when playing at Milan Puskar Stadium. It'll be close, but the Mountaineers improve to .500 against Baylor. West Virginia 24, Baylor 20
Connor Zimmerlee, Staff Writer: West Virginia enters its matchup against Baylor looking to move to 1-2 in Big 12 play. Doing so, though, will be much easier said than done. The Baylor offense should have no trouble putting up points on the West Virginia defense, as the Bears look to bounce back from a loss to Oklahoma State. Baylor 49, West Virginia 21
Zach Dimmitt, Staff Writer: An interesting Thursday night matchup, both these teams are looking to turn the corner at the midway point in the season after coming off bye weeks. Both defenses have been solid this season despite a few losses. It’s a bit of a toss-up here but I’ll take the Mountaineers at home. West Virginia 32, Baylor 29
