The West Virginia Mountaineers are 19-4 this season and they have won four of their last five games. WVU is averaging 81 points per game and they are shooting 46.1 percent from the floor while defensively they are allowing 65.4 points and their opponents are shooting 41.7 percent. Jaysean Page leads the Mountaineers averaging 14.2 points per game.

Kansas is 2-5 against the spread against the Big 12, 8-2 against the spread following a game that they covered the point spread, and 2-5 against the spread against a team with a winning record. West Virginia is 4-0 against the spread against the Big 12, 5-1 against the spread following a win, and 4-1 against the spread against a team with a winning record. The home team has covered the point spread in six of the last seven meetings of these two.
Kansas will have revenge on their mind after losing at WVU in January and I see them getting the win but with the line moving up it is in the range where I would rather take the points.
