The West Virginia Mountaineers are coming out of their first bye week with one of their more winnable games remaining on the schedule in front of them – although Vegas oddsmakers might not agree that it's a game WVU football can win.
Odds have opened for the WVU-UCF showdown this Saturday in Orlando, and once again the Mountaineers find themselves a pretty good sized underdog. The Vegas oddsmakers currently have theUCF Knights opening as a 7.5-point favorite over the Mountaineers, with the over/under for the points total at 51.5
Both teams will enter the weekend winless in Big 12 play and on a three-game losing streak, as the Mountaineers dropped conference clashes with Kansas, Utah, and BYU before their bye week – the Knights meanwhile are coming off a 20-11 loss to Cincinnati in Week 7, which was preceded by losses to Kansas and Kansas State in prior weeks.
