Jarred Salubi is the lead RB for Baylor and his production has steadily declined in each of his last 3 games and in the narrow win over Louisiana-Monroe he only averaged 2.9 yards per carry.<\/p>\n

Jason’s Pick:<\/strong> I think this game will be a high scoring affair, but WVU simply has a better team and a better defense and since they are at home they will win their Big 12 debut and the will cover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Baylor vs West Virginia Odds & Prediction Both Baylor and West Virginia have yet to lose and this game should be a barnburner, as each has a passing offense that ranks in the top 5 in the nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":193,"featured_media":26503,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[39626,56553,56552,26020,324,327,766,769,2364],"class_list":["post-55408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-39626","tag-baylor-bears-vs-west-virginia-mountaineers","tag-baylor-vs-west-virginia","tag-bears-vs-mountaineers","tag-college-football-odds","tag-college-football-predictions","tag-ncaa-football-lines","tag-ncaa-football-picks","tag-week-5"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/193"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55408"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55408\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55431,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55408\/revisions\/55431"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
