    Utah -7

    I know the whole world is on them but there are so much better in every category and should be more motivated per their coach who appears to be a bowl specialist with his record.

    $250 easy.

    Enjoy and gl.

    Are we looking at the same teams? WVU is 14th overall offensively and Utah is 32nd.

    I hate betting favorites in these bowl games. They’re not covering. Hell theyre not even winning. Every team that looks better on paper is losing. I do agree that Utah seems like the better play, but Just can’t pull the trigger on them. We don’t know how WVu will come out with a new qb who has had 3 weeks practice with the first string. He may look great. He may look crappy. I’m staying away.

    WVU is going to run a spread option all game long, I bet.

    WVU is missing their starting QB. The backup sucks.

    I look for WV to move the ball with ease here.

    Not betting the spread but rather WV team total over 24, which I see as very attainable by the 3rd qtr here.

    Utah could struggle to score TDs in this game, FGs won't cut it.

    Passing better - check.
    Rushing better - check.
    Defense better - check.
    Neutral field record better - check.
    Coach record in bowls better - check.

    I mean if they dont cover, whats the point of betting these bowls...???

    QB for WVU seems to take care of the ball. He is getting his 3rd start today. He has had time to get his timing with the Wr's. WVU has a balanced attack which will help him. Utes QB playing with sore shoulder. One good hit he will be on the sideline. WVU is a more physical team. I think the Mountaineers will control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. BUT, on the backside of the defense WVU has some of the worst tackling DBs you will ever see. Utes are a far superior team in the Special teams department. It comes down to if WVU can establish the run and get to Utes QB. I think they can do that. I'm taking the 7 pts.

    More physical than the utes? I'm afraid they are softer than freshly baked bread. Starting QB, starting RB, and starting stud WR are sitting this game for WVU

    This is not the NFL where your toast with a backup qb. Their backup has a couple games under his belt now and has a month of practice to prepare.

    Don't over think this. Utes were one of the best road teams this year. West Virginia almost lost to 1-11 Baylor on the road... utes by double digits in this one

    Last time I checked OBs and WRs are not considered when assessing TOUGHNESS of a team! I know for a fact the cheerleaders for the Mountaineers would kick the shyt outta Utah's ho's.

    Do we know the backup sucks??? He got thrown into the fire with no time to work with his line and Receivers, and didn't embarass himself. Now you give him 4 weeks to prepare, get timing down with his weapons, etc....he could play well.....we will see soon.

    McCoy the back up Rb for WVU has quick feet and can cut on a dime. In years past when given the chance, college RBs that have talent and have been waiting for their moment to shine have come on to the seen with a BANG! Don't see much of a drop off here.

    And WVU still has one of the best wide receivers in the entire country, and he is coming back next season too.

    I watched him the entire game against OU. He could not pass at all.

    Maybe the long layoff will help him since he has had more reps.

    There is a ton of misinformation in this thread. I don’t feel confident in either side.

    It’s a crapshoot trying to cap these trash exhibition bowl games. A lot of it just comes down to motivation.

    Utahs’s coach always has them motivated in games like this but it seems like SBR is on Utah.

    If I played it, I would take WVU and the under but I’m laying off.

    Utah has been a major disappointment this season. The biggest disappointment in the Pac 12 by far. 4 of their 6 wins come against FCS North Dakota and three teams that failed to reach .500 for the season. Now West Virginia is no bargain package, but they do have wins against Iowa State, Texas Tech, and Kansas State. This game is for the absolute degenerates out there, and all of the air bettors. Giving 7 points is ridiculous. Wagering on this game is desperation. And you guys wonder why you lose so much.

    For all you only degens bet on this game blah blah blah, why you even on here posting? If the game is for degens only, what are you doing in the SBR College forum today. Just in here to tell everybody they suck and are degens? Of course we are degens we are gamblers. If you are making a career out of sports gambling, you certainly know no matter how insignificant the game, there could be an angle.

    A QB is the leader of the offense so if he isn't tough the offense is probably not going to do much. A 6-6 team being a 7 point favorite vs a 7-5 team? They lost by 1 to USC on the road and lost by 3 at Washington. Good luck. We shall see

    West Virginia just dropped 9.in coverage and had 4 guys all standing next to each other doing nothing.

    My intial post was I used the word physical. WVU is a more physical team. QBs and WRs are not and will never be considered when assessing which team is more physical. Sorry BOSS MAN! You are fockn idiot!
