Another Awful Year for Mississippi State

It has been another awful year for Mississippi State but if they were able to win this game, all of a sudden this year isn’t a failure and they have all kinds of momentum heading into next year. Last Saturday, Mississippi State faced off against Missouri and they ended up losing 39-20. Michael Van Buren Jr completed 16 of his 28 passes for 191 yards and a touchdown. Davon Booth did have a strong game on the ground rushing 12 times for 124 yards and a touchdown. Mississippi State is averaging 26.9 points while their defense is giving up 34.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 78th in the league while the defense is ranked 122th. In this game, the defense is going to need to be good, or this is going to be another blown-out egg bowl. 

Why Mississippi State Will Cover Against Ole Miss

• The road team has won each of the last three games between Mississippi State and Ole Miss.
• Ole Miss has failed to cover the spread in seven of its last eight November games as a favorite.
• Mississippi State has covered the spread in each of its last four games as an underdog against top-15 AP-ranked teams.

What an Awful Loss for Ole Miss

After Indiana’s loss on Saturday all Ole Miss had to do was beat Florida and Mississippi State and they would be in the college football playoff. The problem was Florida proved to be too much for them and they ended up losing 24-17. Jaxson Dart made too many questionable decisions and he completed 24 of his 41 passes for 323 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. For an offense that is so flaunted, there are too many times this season that they have laid an egg. Ole Miss is averaging 38.5 points while their defense is giving up 13.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 9th in the league while the defense is ranked 5th. 

Mississippi State vs Ole Miss Prediction

I am just not sold on this Ole Miss offense anymore. Dart makes way too many questionable decisions and he’s not going to run up the score here. Mississippi State is averaging 26.9 points per game and they are going to get over their season average here. This might be one of those sweat-it-out type-out games, but Mississippi State is going to find a way to keep this one within the number. Back Mississippi State against the spread here.
