Tonight West Virginia takes on South Florida in a prime time televised knockdown drag down for both teams. This game looks tempting to take the home dog but I am going to go the other way on this one. WV has revenge for a loss last year and in the post game speech after a win against East Carolina the coach talked about this game, which means they have been looking forward to it.
The Mountaineers are favored by a touchdown and come off four consecutive double-digit wins. They average 47.3 PPG and are on a 13-4 ATS run as road chalk. West Virginia also has the nation's No. 2 rushing offense at 357 yards per game and is led by Steve Slaton (125.5), whose next TD run will have him a school-record 43 in his career. Yet that vaunted ground game of Slaton and QB Pat White was held in check by the South Florida defense last season, as they combined for a stunning 60 yards on the ground in a 24-19 loss as three-touchdown favorites.

Hoping to avoid another upset, WVU hired away former USF Offensive Coordinator Rod Smith.
West Virginia won’t take the Bulls lightly this time and having White under center is big difference. If the Mountaineers are true national contenders, they must win games just like this. Even with all the success under coach Rich Rodriguez, these are the types of tilts they have lost previously. They will come into this Big East bad boy with 11-3 ATS record after gaining 225 or more rushing yards in two straight games over the last three seasons.
West Virginia: 19-8 ATS away off a win by 21+ points
Selection: West Virginia -7 (buy down if it goes 7.5)
