College football betting on Thursday, September 18th has #25 West Virginia visiting Colorado in a game televised by ESPN. The Mountaineers were upset a couple of weeks ago by East Carolina in NCAA football betting and are no longer considered part of the BCS mix while Colorado continues to work their way up the ladder in the Big 12. The NCAA football betting odds on this game should be very close.
NCAA football betting experts were very surprised that West Virginia laid an egg against East Carolina. Mountaineer’s head coach Bill Stewart was also not pleased with the result. The defense didn’t play particularly well but the offense was the big concern as they scored just 3 points against East Carolina according to NCAA football betting stats. It was the first time in 79 games that West Virginia failed to score a touchdown according to college football betting stats. With quarterback Pat White and running back Noel Devine it is unthinkable to NCAA football betting experts that the Mountaineers would play any game this season without scoring a touchdown. Head coach Bill Stewart just signed a six-year contract at West Virginia, although after the performance against East Carolina, many college football betting experts are wondering why. He is just 10-26 in his career as a head coach according to college football betting stats, most of which game at VMI.
College football betting experts have been very high on West Virginia in recent seasons but with Stewart at the helm they are now off the bandwagon. West Virginia is 33-5 over the past three years and has three straight bowl wins according to NCAA football betting stats but experts don’t like the team under Stewart. College football betting gamblers are not the only ones that are shocked by what happened to West Virginia against East Carolina. “It was a tough game and I hated it for our players, our fans, the University and the great people of West Virginia,” Stewart said. “I can assure that no one hated it more than this football team and these coaches.”
The question for college football betting gamblers looking at the West Virginia-Colorado game in college football betting is should they expect West Virginia to bounce back. That makes Thursday’s NCAA football betting matchup intriguing.
College football betting information shows that this is the first ever meeting between West Virginia and Colorado.
