I'm on WV +8 and on the M/L.
This is actually one of my better plays for the bowl season.
We'll see what happens shortly.
BOL guys..Should be an exciting game

ive got little feel for this one which i why i was leaning towards wvu at 8, just to take the dog, but ive been saying wvu was overrated all year and i think i should put my money on it. soon enough.

gl Chalk. if i lose, you winning aint bad with me.

Thanks Mo.
If I go down, at least you guys get a winner.
I was actually in the other camp...I thought OK was over rated all year, and is more the reason of my play then being a WV shill..I also think the line is over adjusted all because of that complete lack luster, choke job performance, of WV when they played PITT.

I took WV +8.5. They had one bad game against pitt and everyone thinks that OU will stop them. They were averaging 292 yards a game rushing.Which is 4th in the nation. So I will take the points and GL to everyone no matter what you bet.

there could never be more motivation than there is when playing for a shot at the title. wvu had that and still laid an egg vs a terrible team. wvu really got beat pretty badly in that game. that being said, every team has laid an egg at some point this season. col stinks, stanford stinks, pitt stinks and each of those teams beat up on title contenders.

Pitt game was Worst coached game since Ive been watching WVU (1987)...no lies...and this is not because I am a Rodriguez hater (which I am) or because I am a new Ohio State fan....+9 is a steal but again I am bi9ased.....GL all.

Thats my whole point Mo. They were motivated for that game, it was just one they totally laid an egg much like every college team has this year at one point. I think that is the game that remains in everyones mind, and why you see +8-9 now. If WV lost by a FG to PITT, I bet that line would only be about +3-5 right now.

well, the line is moving in a good direction for me, and any WVU players that are getting the game late. i would hate to have a wvu ticket at 6.5

hell, a break here or there and we're talking about WVU as a Much smaller dog in the title game than they are to OU tonight.

wvu/osu would be what? osu -2.5?
