Spread: Oklahoma -5.5

1-star play on West Virginia covering: At first thought, I was leaning toward Oklahoma. Now, I'm going to side with West Virginia. The Sooners have struggled recently as well having lost four of its last five. Neither team can be trusted to lay points, so I'll take the away dog with the chance that the Mountaineers could pull off the outright win.

Over/Under: 135.5

3-star play on the under: Considering it took overtime for Oklahoma to reach 60 points in the win over Oklahoma State, I'm looking at the under here. The Sooners are averaging 54 points per game over the last three and have shot 31% from three during that span. West Virginia has been an over team as of late, but not tonight. Take the under.
