There are a couple of ways to beat West Virginia; try to outscore them, which Baylor failed at, or get pressure on Smith which Texas did, but still couldn't beat them. Tech's attempts at blitzing Landry Jones failed miserably and he made them pay, Geno Smith should absolutely shred this defense. I haven't said anything that a lot of people don't already know so the wildcard here is Tech's O vs. WV's D. Nothing that I look at adds up to Tech staying within 5 points but like you said, I'm almost scared to bet it because it's so far off from what I expected.

They just got drilled by 3 touchdowns at home by an OU team that has a lot of question marks. I know the Mountaineer defense is suspect but don't mistake Texas Tech's offense for Baylor.

Took SC, FLORIDA, Rugers, and A&M " dumbass bet in parlay loss I love WV they will out gun TT i see a similar game as BU so 4 pts or less I am fine with. lets just hope the wind is not blowing 40 mph ALSO gotta love bama against beat up Mizzou.

WV D is already garbage, they'll be tired garbage playing essentially a morning game. Plus the last two years TT has been in similar sports coming off a rival loss to only upset a top ten team the next week (OKST in '10 and Ok last year) But honestly, I would feel more comfortable with the over as far up as 75.

In my opinion it is more efficient than both baylors and texas'. that is the reason this spread is low and that is the reason im staying away from this game. I bet on w virginia LARGE last week on both the ML as well as the spread. Real large bc vegas has a tendency to undervalue good teams when they come into austin. They do it every single year. I made a ton last year when kstate came into austin as 8 point dogs against a Texas team that was borderline miserable.

I just see a few mishaps from TT and thme not getting points on a few possessions and WV scoring on every play large on WV placed -3.5 2k medium on BAMA -21 1k parlay 1 kent state -1.5 ksu -7 and Okla State -23 300 to ein 1900 parlay 2 bama -21, SC +2.5, and uF -7.5

TTECH isnt familiar with WVGA so, as u mentioned the upset top 10 teams... that they were familiar with... the ot here is TTEch will also be in an emotional letdown, throwing the kitchen sink to OU and putting a rubbish %200 effort just to be behind raped, and that was against a pedestrian OU squad ... ttech doesnt have the personel or athletes to stop wvga air raid and neither to ground and pound and control the tempo and game... so wvga will put pts and at some pt ttech will play catch with them ..adn well there goes ttech down the drain, besides wvga its a veteran squad, they have seen tougher venues

Prospect Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 470 Location:	#19 Posted: 10/9/2012 5:54:47 PM WVU will beat Tech by double digits. I think this is the easiest plat of the year so far. Tech is getting credit for their ealry season success against terrible teams. WVU still isn't getting credit for what they just did. UT is much better than Texas and WVU really dominated them. If it wasn't for 2 geno fumbles inside the 10 yard line and a score with 10 seconds left, that would of been a 14-20 point WVU win. I know Tech has upset big name teams in the past, but this is a different team and they don't have the players to match WVU. I expect a big win with Geno continuing to destory defenses.
