MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The MetroNews staff predictions for No. 13 West Virginia hosting No. 6 Oklahoma. Note that the Sooners opened as 1-point favorites and the line has grown to 3:
Win, and WVU goes bounding off to the Big 12 championship game. Lose, and there’s barely a 1-percent chance of a backdoor berth (provided Texas loses to Kansas and Iowa State falls to K-State). Oklahoma can big-play defenses to death or bleed them with crisp short-game execution. The Sooners’ D is bound to keep things interesting, though. Give me the over at 84 and OU to win its 20th consecutive road game.
