West Virginia Mountaineers 2024 Season Preview

West Virginia football could be in for a big year in 2024.

The Mountaineers turned heads with a 9-4 record last season despite entering the season expected to be the worst team in the Big 12. One year later, West Virginia returns starting quarterback Garrett Greene and both its leading rushers, so there are real expectations for this year’s team. With big out-of-conference regional showdowns against Penn State and Pitt in the first three weeks of the season, WVU has the chance to begin this season with a bang.

Here’s what to look for when betting on the Mountaineers this season.

Betting on West Virginia

You’ll find that there are many ways to bet on West Virginia. Futures bets, such as Big 12 championship odds or college football win totals, are fun ways to get in on the action before the season starts.

Single-game wagers like moneyline bets, point spread bets, and totals bets are the main ways to bet on a team during the season.

West Virginia Mountaineers Point Spreads

Placing a moneyline bet is simply betting on which team wins the game. Margin of victory is irrelevant, it’s just a bet on which team comes away with the W.

Here’s what a hypothetical West Virginia moneyline bet looks like:

The heavy -300 odds on West Virginia indicate that it is a big favorite in this game. Minus (-) odds show how much you would have to bet for every $100 you want to win, and since the Mountaineers are considered the better team, it would take a higher first bet amount than betting on the underdog with plus (+) odds.

Let’s play it out: If you bet $10 on the WVU moneyline at -300 and the Mountaineers win, you’d only win $3.33. You would also get back your initial stake for a total payout of $13.33. On the flip side, if Baylor wins at +280, a $10 bet on the Bears would win you $28. Add in the $10 stake and you’d walk away with $38.

A point spread bet is predicting if a team wins or loses by a set amount of points in a game. Sportsbooks favor one team to win by a certain amount of points, and that number is called the spread. The underdog is expected to lose by that same amount of points.

If a team is favored by seven points and they win by 10 points, then it covers the spread. A seven-point underdog that loses by three points or just wins outright would cover as well.

This is what a hypothetical West Virginia point spread would look like:

  • Baylor +9.5 (-110)
  • West Virginia -9.5 (-110)

    West Virginia needs to win by at least 10 points to cover in this one and Baylor needs to lose by fewer than 10 points to cover. The vast majority of spread bets are priced at -110, but sometimes the spread odds will be -105 or -115. For every dollar you would like to win, you would have to bet $1.10 on a -110 spread.

West Virginia Mountaineers Over/Unders

Betting the total is guessing whether the combined final score will be more or less than the sportsbook’s listed total. Totals bets are commonly referred to as over/unders.

If a game has a total of 54.5 points, then 55 or more points would need to be scored for an “over” bet to win, and an “under” bet would need 54 points or fewer to be scored.

  • Over: 54.5 (-115)
  • Under: 54.5 (-105)

    A game with the final score of 27-20 would mean a winning “under” bet. However, if the game finished 34-30, then the “over” would hit.

Prop bets are much less common for college football due to some recent scandals around the country, but they are allowed in some states.

These wagers are short for propositional bets and they are wagers on statistical results from a game. Usually these are focused on player stats. For example, a quarterback could have a prop bet of over/under 245.5 passing yards in a game. If they threw for 260 yards, bettors who took the over on his yardage total would win. Some other prop bets would be an anytime touchdown bet or a rushing yardage total.

A good alternative to prop betting at a sportsbook is DFS platforms. One of the best daily fantasy sports sites is PrizePicks, where players can predict if a player (or multiple players) finishes a game with more or less statistical production than their PrizePicks projection.
