These are both teams that can really score, and there won’t be a lick of defense played by either team. TCU is averaging 77.5 points while West Virginia is averaging 77.1 points per game. Look for both teams to run up the score and it wouldn’t shock me if both teams ended up over 80 points. Back the over.
