Baylor Bears Analysis

The Bears lost to the TCU Horned Frogs 42-17 in their last game with QB Blake Shapen suffering a head injury late in the fourth quarter. Shapen to the pylon! 🙌🙌 @BShapen #SicEm | #PersonOverPlayer pic.twitter.com/HP2sKHH0IK

West Virginia Predicted to Overpower Baylor Despite Missing Starting QB Blake Shapen

West Virginia have performed well against recent opponents, winning 3 of 4 games against the spread including last month's 41-28 straight up win against the UCF Knights away from home. Baylor have performed poorly with 5 losses in 6 games against the spread and 8 losses in 11 games this year. Baylor possess a weak defense which has allowed over 100 points in many categories and West Virginia have scored 34 or more points in 5 of their last 6. Additionally, Baylor will be without their starting QB Blake Shapen, making a strong victory for West Virginia likely.
