The then conference co-leading West Virginia Mountaineers led the Oklahoma State Cowboys 31-14 at the half only to let the Pokes off the hook in a gut wrenching 45-41 loss that made for an extra long trip home from Stillwater. Meanwhile the Oklahoma Sooners won a 55-40 shootout over the Kansas Jayhawks as 35-point home overlays. Friday night the Mounties host the Sooners in a game with plenty of firepower.

Live Betting Odds Analysis
Live betting could very well prove to be the most volatile and active of almost any game this season. These are two high profile Big 12 Conference title contenders that feature prolific offenses and Heisman Trophy worthy quarterbacks. If any game this season was made for live betting this would be the one!
OU Losing While Winning
Oklahoma is 10-1 straight up but just 4-7 against the spread with 10 of their 11 games going over the total. Despite winning their last five games the Sooners have failed to get the cash three straight times.
Mounties Remain in the Black
West Virginia is 8-2 straight up and 6-3-1 against the spread with six of their games going over the total. The Mountaineers have lost just one of their last four games against the spread and have gone over the total four consecutive games.
Matchup Metrics
West Virginia boasts the ninth ranked scoring offense but their defensive weaknesses were fully exploited last week at Okie State. The Mounties rank 90th in the country against the pass.
Oklahoma is the top scoring team in the country but ranks 89th in the nation for total defense and 86th for points allowed. The Sooners defense has shown slight improvement since Ruffin McNeil has taken over as coordinator.
A Tale of Two Quarterbacks
College football fans will be treated to a phenomenal quarterbacking showdown. West Virginia’s Will Grier has a 174.2 rating with 33 touchdowns, eight interceptions and 9.56 yards per attempt.
Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray has a 205.8 rating with 34 touchdowns, six interceptions, and 11.86 yards per attempt.
ATS Trends
Oklahoma has not been a strong play on the board as a road team for quite some time now. In fact, the Sooners have paid in just four out of their last 11 when playing away from home with just one of their last seven road games going under the total.
West Virginia has been money in the bank in recent home games. To show, the Mounties have covered four of their last five at Milan Puskar Stadium with three of their last five games on Mountaineer Field going over the total.
Head to Head
Oklahoma has had a stranglehold in this head to head series with four consecutive payouts and six consecutive straight up wins. Six of the last seven meetings between the Sooners and Mountaineers have gone over the total. Additionally, Oklahoma has won and covered their last two visits to West Virginia with both of those games going over the total.
Free Live Betting ATS Pick
The Mounties may have been peaking ahead to this one last sweek. With the weak defenses and great quarterbacking, the live betting could get wild. At the end of the day the Mounties have the slightly better defense but Murray is just a bit better than Grier. At the end of the day it’s all about the famed “Sooner Magic.”
