6* Widow Wise guy 2009 Big East GAME OF THE YEAR on W est V irginia -3(-108 at 5dimes)

South Florida has started their usual second-half slide and that continues Friday against a much superior West Virginia team. The Bulls started the season 5-0 against a very soft schedule, but then they came back to lose at home to Cincinnati 17-34 and on the road last week 14-41 to Pittsburgh. South Florida just never has the players that are mentally tough enough to get back on track following big losses. West Virginia is 6-1 this season and should be 7-0 had they not turned the ball over 6 times in their 30-41 road loss at Auburn. The Mountaineers have scored 24 or more points in every game, putting up 31.3 points/game and 421 total yards/game on the season. South Florida doesn't have the offensive firepower to stay with them Friday night. The Bulls have been held to 17 points or less in 3 of their last 4 games, and they clearly miss starting QB Matt Grothe who is lost for the season due to injury. The Bulls are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 vs. a team with a winning record. The Bulls are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 0.5-3.0. Take West Virginia and lay the points.
