Prediction

West Virginia 71, Oklahoma 60

Moneyline (ML)

Since 2016, Oklahoma (+310) has the second-worst road record in the Big XII (10-33) and fourth-worst mark against ranked opponents (10-23). West Virginia (-400) sits at No. 19 in the USA TODAY Sports men’s college basketball poll and is dominant at home with a 13-1 record in the WVU Coliseum. The payout for the Sooners isn’t high enough, and betting $400 to win $100 if the Mountaineers win outright is awful value.

PASS ON THE MONEYLINE in Oklahoma-West Virginia.

Against the Spread (ATS)

Like Oklahoma, West Virginia -7.5 (-121) is terrible on the road and awesome at home. I say that to give a reason for the 10-point whooping the Sooners put on the Mountaineers in Norman, Okla. +7.5 (even) in their first meeting. We should count on a more dialed-in West Virginia team, and one looking for revenge, at home on Saturday. They’ve covered five of their last seven games against Oklahoma and are 9-5 against the spread in home games. Also, against winning team West Virginia is 6-3 ATS at home this season.

BET WEST VIRGINIA -7.5 (-121). 

Over/Under (O/U)

You either BET UNDER 135.5 (-110) or stay away from the total. The combined Over/Under record of the two teams is 19-47, and the Under has cashed in five of their last seven meetings. The Under is 9-2 in Sooners’ last 11 games as an underdog and 5-0 in Mountaineers’ last five games as a home favorite.
