Alabama vs Mississippi State Prediction

I’m not sure if I want anything to do with either side after what we just saw. Alabama lost to Texas as a double-digit favorite, and Mississippi State got rocked by a subpar at best Kentucky team. It will be interesting to see which team can get off the canvas. I considered the points with Mississippi State at home, but Alabama has shown us more over the course of the season. Alabama also has more scoring options, while Mississippi State is often Hubbard or die. If Alabama hits shots early, this has the potential to get away from the Bulldogs. I’ll lay the chalk with the road team.
