Oklahoma is a 2.5-point road favorite in Morgantown at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In the last four meetings between these two teams, Oklahoma is 4-0 SU.
The Sooners opened up their season with a 1-2 SU and 0-3 ATS record that included double-digit outright losses to Houston and Ohio State. But since then, Oklahoma is 7-0 SU and 4-3 ATS in conference play, and could potentially be back in the mix for a playoff spot if the team is able to win out.
Oklahoma took a similar path to the playoffs last season, losing as a big favorite to Texas before looking strong in a 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS run down the stretch to win the Big 12 title.
Under head coach Bob Stoops, the Sooners have been a consistently strong team on the road. Oklahoma is 12-1 SU and 9-4 ATS in its last 13 road games against conference foes, per the OddsShark College Football Database.
Betting Line / Total: Oklahoma -2.5 / 66.5 Points
Trend: The total has gone UNDER in 13 of West Virginia’s last 16 games at home.
Trend: Oklahoma is 14-0 SU and 10-4 ATS in its last 14 games against its conference.
West Virginia’s stock dropped after a 37-20 loss on the road to Oklahoma State, but the team has bounced back with wins over Kansas and Texas.
The Mountaineers enter the home stretch of their schedule with an 8-1 SU and 4-5 ATS record, and have a couple more chances to pick up statement wins hosting Oklahoma this week and Baylor in the final game of the regular season. West Virginia is 5-1 SU in its last six games against Big 12 opponents.
Saturday’s total is set at 66.5 points. The UNDER is 13-3 in West Virginia’s last 16 games at home.
The Mountaineers have a clear edge on defense in this contest, allowing 20.6 points per game compared to Oklahoma’s 30.8 points per game. But that defense will be put to the test against a Sooners attack that ranks ninth in the nation with 44.2 points per game on offense.
