WVU +8.5, if that number is still available
Lean WVU +8.5 if available; the market moved from TCU -7 to around -8.5 by Oct. 20, so shop for the best number and be less interested if the spread drops materially.
Under 56.5 as a cautious lean
Consider Under 56.5, not at a substantially lower number: TCU allowed 12.2 points per game over its six recent completed games, while WVU scored 37.6 over seven; keep the stake modest.
