T.M. Selection: Baylor Bears

I like the Baylor Bears to win this game against the West Virginia Mountaineers on Thursday. Off last week's huge loss against the OKST Cowboys, Baylor comes into this one needing a win. The Bears were supposed to be one of the favorites to win this conference at the beginning of the season, and now find themselves with just a 3-2 record. Many teams would be happy with a record like that, but if they want to get back to the Big 12 Championship game, this is a must win game. BU is still one of the best all around teams in the nation. They rank 26th in ppg with an average of 37.4. While the Mountaineers love to run the ball and are good at it, the Bears have the 29th best run defense in the country. They allow an average of less than 100 rushing yards per game. Looking at WVU, they have struggled when they play top opponents. Their losses come against Pitt, Kansas and Texas. While those teams are all strong, Baylor might be even better than all of them. Expect a monster game from QB Blake Shapen on Thursday Night. Baylor rolls.

T.M. Prediction: 37-21 Baylor.
