Meanwhile, the Cowboys are 5-1 ATS in their last six after an ATS loss and 13-5-1 ATS in the last 19 conference games. OK State is 16-6-1 ATS in their last 23 overall. 

PICK: I’m probably staying with Oklahoma State. The Cowboys have to bounce back from a rough loss to Oklahoma in their last game, though. Oklahoma State did great on defense after the first quarter, but the four interceptions and 7-of-22 run on third down’s didn’t help. 

As for West Virginia, they had a fairly tepid offensive outing versus a good Kansas State team, notching 369 total yards (153 rushing), 21 first downs and 2-of-10 on third-down tries. It’s only going to get tougher in this matchup, and I don’t think the Mountaineers will keep the pace.
