I thought I'd see what our competition thought about the opener, then get the take from everyone here.
WVU fans generally see an easy win. I think their OL gets a big surprise and Harris meets Howard several times. They will score, but not at will and it will be a battle. Our offense surprises early in the run game, and their with their defense weakened by losses and inexperience we battle out a close win 24-17 ZOU.

their OL
Aren't they down 2 or 3 linemen? If so we win comfortably as in 31-6. Yeah I'm a homer too so take that into consideration.

Mizzou wins, but not by much. 24-20
Gonna be some growing pains, tough first game given all the variables.

If I was WVU I would feel good as well. All assumptions made by casual fans is based off of past performance, sooooo...
Our defense is good, but it has shown a lack of ability to create scoring opportunities to help our offense and eventually they give up scores to above average offenses based off of time on field.
So from my perspective, I say 30-17 Mizzou... We go into the half 13-7, outscore the Mountaineers 14-0 in 3rd with both scores being set up off short fields. WV gives us scares in the 4th with Lock throwing a pick and other mistakes but they only manage 1 TD and FG.
I see us putting up 450+ yds of offense with 225 on the arm of Lock.
I also see us upsetting one of LSU or Tennessee on the road, and I'm actually leaning to LSU, but that could change if Harris is halfway decent. If that's the case we lose to them by 20.
