Stetson Hatters vs. West Virginia Mountaineers Prediction

I’m on West Virginia in this one. It’s a random game for West Virginia to be playing, but there aren’t many tough teams it looks like in West Virginia’s non-conference portion of their schedule in all honesty. That being said, Stetson didn’t look good offensively against South Carolina and while this is a big number for West Virginia and what we know this program to be historically, the Mountaineers are still the far better team in this matchup and had no problem dispatching Niagara and doubling up the Purple Eagles in their opener and I wouldn’t be surprised if we had a similar result here. Give me West Virginia.
