Thursday, December 31, 2020 at 12:00 pm
The Bulldogs (3-7) will make a school-record 11th consecutive bowl appearance, while the Golden Hurricane (6-2) will play in their first bowl since 2016 when they meet on New Year's Eve in the Armed Forces Bowl at Fort Worth, Texas.
Tulsa behind a top tier D had a fine season, but Mississippi State is a power 5 team from one of the strongest conferences in the nation and deserve our respect here in this spot. It must be noted noted that. the underdog dog is 5-1 ATS in the last six Mississippi State bowl games and HC Mike Leach stands tall with a 26-11 ATS as a road dog against sides like Tulsa with a better record. Considering ACC bowl sides are just 1-5 ATS L/6 vs a the ACC, it was not a hard decision for me to pull the trigger with the Bulldogs. CFB teams where the line is +3 to -3 (MISSISSIPPI ST) - poor team - outscored by opponents by 7 or more points/game, after a playing a game where 70 total points or more were scored 107-59 ATS L/28 seasons for a 65% conversion rate.
