Baylor has gone to BYU, to Iowa St and played well in both. Baylor has played well defensively, giving up 20.6 points per game. They gave up a season-high 36 point last week and I expect them to be focused here Thursday night.

The Bears are +1.53 yards/play while WV is +.23 overall. Baylor with a HUGE edge with front seven holding foes to 2.8 yards per carry while WVU will be without top rusher CJ Donaldson. Also a major Coaching edge with Baylor as well as Neal Brown is on the hot seat and players are losing faith in him.

The Mountaineers have lost three of their last five games, with their only wins coming against teams with losing records. WVU didn’t run the ball well against Texas in their last game and will have a hard time running the ball against the 13th-best run defense vs Baylor.

I like Baylor to cover the spread.
