The offshore sportsbooks are expecting some points to be scored in Saturday’s West Virginia vs Oklahoma State matchup with a betting total in the low 60s. That number makes sense, as the Mountaineers (4-7) have allowed 31+ points in six of their last seven while OSU (7-4) has gone from one of the best defenses in the country a season ago to one of the worst this year, giving up 451.2 ypg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oklahoma State at one point looked like they had potential to make the CFP, starting off the year 5-0 and getting up to #8 in the country before a 43-40 OT loss to TCU in week 7. Since that defeat to the now #4 Horned Frogs, the Cowboys have gone just 2-3 as they head towards a middle-of-the-pack bowl game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oklahoma State’s defense has struggled all year, but they had been able to get by on their offense in shootout games like the 58-44 win over Central Michigan or beating Texas Tech 41-31. That offense hasn’t been able to break 20+ ppg over the last four though which really puts Saturday’s game in limbo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
