When the Bears come to Morgantown this weekend, no one should anticipate any similarities to WVU football’s first game as a Big 12 member, which happened eight years ago and resulted in an absurd 70-63 win over Baylor.
After being influenced by current Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule, Baylor has adopted a more defensive approach. Following his tenure as LSU’s defensive coordinator, Dave Aranda aims to sustain this progress as the new replacement.
The point total for the initial meeting between WVU and Baylor was higher than the current over/under of 53.5 set for their upcoming matchup.
On their home turf, the Mountaineers (1-1) are considered underdogs, receiving 3 points from BetMGM Sportsbook WV and DraftKings WV Sportsbook, as well as 2.5 points from FanDuel Sportsbook.
Baylor (1-0) heads into the game after a commanding 47-14 victory against Kansas. However, it is important to note that demolishing the Jayhawks may not provide substantial insights into the team’s true potential or weaknesses for bettors.
Last week, West Virginia suffered a 27-13 defeat at the hands of Oklahoma State, despite out-gaining the Cowboys in the game. The Mountaineers faced numerous penalties, totaling 12 for a loss of 106 yards.
If West Virginia can improve its performance at home, it is possible for them to cause an upset. Last season, Baylor narrowly won with a 17-14 victory over the Mountaineers in Waco.
NFL Week 4 Uncertainty: Steelers and Titans
Northern West Virginia is captivated by the Steelers, making them the focal point of attention and a major source of NFL betting activity for sports betting operators in WV. However, placing bets on Pittsburgh is currently unavailable as the NFL has postponed their upcoming game against Tennessee. This decision was made due to several individuals within the Titans organization testing positive for COVID-19.
The lines at WV sportsbooks have been removed temporarily until the NFL officially announces the date for the game, which is expected to occur at a later point in the 2020 NFL season.
