Oklahoma State vs West Virginia Prediction, Odds and NCAAF Picks for Tomorrow

Who wouldn't want Oklahoma State here? That embarrassing loss to Tulsa feels like ancient history, but remember it, we'll come back to that. Since then, the Cowboys have shocked a pre-season ranked #2 Oregon 39-31 as 23.5-point underdogs before avoiding the obvious let-down and annihilating Murray State 59-0 as an insane 56.5-point choice. Suddenly, the Pokes are rolling and getting points against West Virginia looks almost too easy. That's precisely why I'm looking the other way.

While everyone has been watching Oklahoma State resurrect its season and affirm some of the pre-season hype with the Eric Morris hire, West Virginia quietly made its own statement. The Mountaineers entered the Duke's Mayo Classic as double-digit underdogs against ranked Virginia and emerged with a victory. Now they return to Morgantown undefeated for their Big 12 opener. Rich Rodriguez also has an offense capable of testing an Oklahoma State team making another genuine trip into hostile territory this season. Milan Puskar Stadium under the lights is considerably different from hammering Murray State at home. Don't forget what happened three weeks ago either. If the Cowboys can lose outright at Tulsa, they can certainly lose in Morgantown. Oklahoma State is the fashionable side, but I am backing West Virginia to defend the Country Roads.
