West Virginia at South Florida
Free Pick: West Virginia MINUS 3
The 20th-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers invade the Sunshine State this weekend, as they tangle with the South Florida Bulls in Big East action at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The Mountaineers head into the bout with a full head of steam, as they have won four straight games since suffering their lone loss to Auburn (41-30) back on September 19th. Most recently, WVU hosted an emotionally charged UConn club and needed a late touchdown run to survive in a 28-24 decision this past weekend. WVU has now won 24 of its last 30 Big East games and is very much in the running for the league title this year. However, the team still has a tough road ahead and that includes a trip to Cincinnati and a home bout versus Pittsburgh in November. The Mountaineers are playing with a lot of confidence right now and they should be able to continue their surge behind the electric running of Noel Devine and a solid effort from the defense.
