Radford is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 Saturday games. West Virginia is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a SU win while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 Saturday games.
This West Virginia team isn’t the same kind of West Virginia team we’ve become accustomed to in the past, but this Radford team will not expose WVU especially with WVU at home. In three games this season on the road, Radford has been held to 52 or less in two of them and have lost all three games by double-digits and in convincing fashion. Look forWVU to play tight defense like they normally do at home and to cover this number with relative ease.
