Mississippi State vs Vanderbilt Prediction 

I learned a few games ago to not bet against Mississippi Stat when they knocked off the Memphis Tigers. Mississippi State is averaging 74 points per game, but their defense is even more important. Vanderbitl’s offense is averaging 86.1 points per game, but they aren’t going to be good enough here, and it’s going to be the Bulldogs that are going to end up cruising to the victory here. Back Mississippi State against the spread.
