Two teams that were demolished at home last week in their Big 12 openers will be looking to bounce back when the Utah Utes travel to Morgantown to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers.
One of those losses was more indicative of who their team is than the other, and that should show this week.
Utah vs West Virginia prediction
Utah vs West Virginia best bet: Utah -12.5 (-110)
The Utah Utes were ranked 16th in the nation before getting smoked at home last weekend by Texas Tech. However, I think that was more about how good the Red Raiders are than how bad the Utes are. This Utah defense is still very good.
They held UCLA to 10 points and Wyoming to six points — both games on the road. Meanwhile, the West Virginia Mountaineers only scored 10 points in each of their games against Ohio and Kansas. Neither of those defenses is anywhere near the talent of this Utah defense.
The Mountaineers did have an impressive 31-24 win over Pitt in between those two games, but that's a heated rivalry game, and sometimes you have to throw numbers and talent out the window in those cases. The other two performances are more likely the real West Virginia.
WVU quarterback Nicco Marchiol is questionable, and three running backs may not suit up for the Mountaineers. I just don’t see how they can score enough to keep this game close, even if Utah's offensive struggles continue.
