The Arkansas Razorbacks (3-2) limp into Starkville to battle the Mississippi State Bulldogs (4-1) Saturday at noon ET. (SEC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Arkansas vs. Mississippi State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Arkansas comes into this game after a botched kick loss against Texas A&M 2 weeks ago followed up by a 49-26 dismantling at the hands of Alabama last Saturday. While QB K.J. Jefferson is playing great, the defensive injuries and lack of other weapons on offense have led to the recent slide for Arkansas. LB Drew Sanders has been a man on a mission since transferring to Arkansas from Alabama, but the defense still has a long way to go before they are up to the standards needed to compete in the SEC West.
Mississippi State rolls into this game after a 42-24 win against the same Texas A&M team which Arkansas lost to 23-21.
Coach Mike Leach and QB Will Rogers have the Bulldogs offense rolling and this will continue in this game against the Razorbacks. Look for this game to be high scoring on both sides of the ball.
