Mississippi State vs Missouri Prediction
Missouri is the better, more balanced team, but it’s been shaky over the last month, and that includes scoring 24 or fewer points in each of its last 3 games. Missouri has scored a combined 27 points in its last 2 games. Mississippi State doesn’t play much defense, but it has the offense to give Missouri a scare. Mississippi State is also one of the best cover teams in the country with an 8-2 ATS record. Mississippi State also needs one more win to become bowl eligible, so this is still a big game for the Bulldogs. I’ll take a free touchdown with a team that’s covering numbers left and right.
