West Virginia vs Oklahoma State Prediction 

Oklahoma State comes into this matchup on a lengthy losing streak and they have allowed at least 81 points in five straight games. West Virginia has lost three of their last four games and they have scored 63 points or fewer in four of their last five. This should be an interesting game because Oklahoma State plays zero defense, while West Virginia has a very poor offense. I am going to side with the Cowboys and their high scoring offense at home, but I don’t love it.
