Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe West Virginia Mountaineers are 1 and 4 against the spread in their last 5 games on the road.
\nThe West Virginia Mountaineers are 1 and 5 against the spread in their last 6 games overall.
\nThe Ohio State Buckeyes are 12 and 2 against the spread in their last 14 non-conference games.
\nThe Ohio State Buckeyes are 9 and 2 against the spread in their last 11 games overall.<\/p>\n
The trends point to the Ohio State Buckeyes just playing a fantastic game in this and taking it to the West Virginia Mountaineers. But I\u2019m not sold on the Buckeyes\u2019 talent this season.<\/p>\n
I do believe that the Mountaineers will be very tough in this game because of coach Huggins and the fact that West Virginia has already played Kentucky and Davidson. Those were both losses, but West Virginia didn\u2019t lose by much.<\/p>\n
Alex Ruoff, West Virginia\u2019s top scorer, is averaging 17 points a game. He had 38 in their last game. That means that this is going to be Ohio States\u2019 sternest test to date.<\/p>\n
Because of the trends, I don\u2019t see the online sportsbook odds makers making Ohio State less than a 4 \u00bd point favorite against the spread.<\/p>\n
West Virginia vs. Ohio St. Prediction:<\/h3>\n
If that\u2019s what the line ends up, then I have to take West Virginia and the points in this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
