Arkansas St is not a very good team and this is the first home game for Mississippi State since November 24th and head coach Rick Ray made no bones about the fact his players are looking forward to finally playing in Starkville. We're getting the Bulldogs off three straight losses, so I would think there's very little chance they won't be focused tonight and hungry for a big win.
It would appear to be a good physical matchup for the Bulldogs and when I think I'm going to get a concerted effort out of a home favorite, I don't mind giving up some points. Look for Miss St to win by 15-22 points here at home and get us the cash!
