Randy’s Free Pick
The Oklahoma Sooners continue to free fall and I wouldn’t expect things to change on the road, where they lose by an average of 9.2 points. West Virginia is playing some of its best ball right now, and it’s a side that wins by an average of 13.3 points in the favorite role. OU doesn’t have much of a chance in its current form. Give me WVU and the chalk.
