Mississippi State is 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games against the SEC. The under is 8-2 in Mississippi State’s last 10 games overall. The under is 6-2 in Mississippi State’s last eight home games. The Bulldogs are 4-9 against the spread in their last 13 meetings against Ole Miss.

This is the first true road game for the Bulldogs, and they are going to be going into a hostile environment. I don’t think their offense is going to run up the score as much as they do at home, and that will allow Ole Miss to keep it close. Back Ole Miss against the spread. In terms of the total, I do expect this to be slower paced and the under is going to cash.
