My Prediction: The Orange are struggling right now. They have lost 6 of 8 and 3 in a row at home. It didn’t help that they didn’t play a game outside the tri-state area until January 17th. West Virginia hasn’t been stellar recently either, losing 2 of 3. The Mountaineers need this win badly and I think that’s enough to keep it close.
West Virginia +5
