Oklahoma vs Mississippi State Prediction
Oklahoma has a road win this season and has the offensive horses to beat any team in the country when those shots are falling. The problem is, Oklahoma is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games. Mississippi State is playing its best ball of the season, which includes a 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS record in their last 5 games. We just saw Mississippi State light up Texas for 101 points. The Humphrey Coliseum is not an easy place to play and in a toss up spot, I’d have to give the edge to the Bulldogs. Mississippi State has home court and probably the best player on the court. Give me Miss State.
