West Virginia vs Baylor Prediction
This is a big game as the winner becomes bowl eligible. I’d lean toward West Virginia and the points if picking a side. However, I’m looking toward the over. Baylor has been hit or miss defensively all year and is 85th in scoring defense. West Virginia is 92nd in both total defense and scoring defense. The over has hit in 5 of the last 7 games between Baylor and West Virginia. The over has hit in 6 straight conference games for Baylor. Expect some fireworks. Give me the over.
