Spread & Over/Under Predictions for WVU at TCU

Can the Mountaineers cover the spread?

Each game day, we will release an article on our thoughts on the spread and the over/under of West Virginia games. The star ratings next to the play describe the overall confidence in that particular play.

Star ratings:

1 Star - Not very confident

2 Star - A little confident

3 Star - Fairly confident

4 Star - Very confident

5 Star - Should be a lock to happen

Spread: TCU -3

2-star play on West Virginia covering: The Horned Frogs will be without Mike Miles and although Bob Huggins downplays it, it's a huge loss for TCU. West Virginia absolutely killed the Horned Frogs on the glass in the previous matchup and this time, the Mountaineers have even more depth in the frontcourt with the recent surge of James Okonkwo. Winning on the road is hard, but this is one the Mountaineers can steal.

Over/Under: 144

1-star play on the under: The loss of Miles will impact TCU's ability to score and I don't see Erik Stevenson staying hot coming off of a 31-point performance in the win over Auburn. This total is right about where it should be, so I would look more toward the side in this one but I would lean to the under, which has cashed in three of the last four games for both teams.

My picks

ATS record: 13-8 (62%)

O/U record: 13-8 (62%)

Overall: 26-16 (62%)
