The Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-1, 2-1 SEC) will take on the Kentucky Wildcats (4-2, 1-2) Saturday at Kroger Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Mississippi State vs. Kentucky odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Bulldogs are on a 3-game winning streak entering Saturday’s contest after defeating SEC rivals Arkansas and Texas A&M by a combined score of 82-41 the last 2 weeks. QB Will Rogers has been fantastic, throwing for 2,110 yards and 22 TDs with only 3 INTs in 6 starts this season.
The Wildcats have lost 2 straight games to SEC foes in South Carolina and Ole Miss in the last 2 weeks. Kentucky is expecting QB Will Levis to return from injury on Saturday after he missed last week’s game with South Carolina, so the Wildcats should receive a boost to their passing game.
