The 2024 season is approaching its final stretch, and every game of the remaining Big 12 schedule is pivotal. Even for the teams that are out of the Big 12 race, the games are important because time is running out to get to bowl eligibility.
After less-than-ideal starts to the year, we have two surging teams that are doing just that as the Baylor Bears (5-4) will head to Morgantown to take on West Virginia (5-4) in a game that will get someone to bowl eligibility.
Here’s how you can catch the game and how it is expected to play out.

Baylor vs. West Virginia: Prediction and Projections
This line is incredibly interesting considering how important this game is for both programs. Baylor will be favored on the road in Morgantown coming out of their bye week, while West Virginia just upset Cincinnati to pick up their fifth win of the season. The winner of this game locks themselves into a bowl, while the loser will have just two more chances to get to six wins. Both coaches desperately need this one, but I like where the Baylor offense is headed right now a little bit more than I do West Virginia’s.
