Mississippi State vs South Carolina Pick
Both teams have been impressive, making this one of Saturday’s more intriguing matchups. Mississippi State has scored 100 points through 2 games, but South Carolina has allowed only 9. Sellers’ dual-threat ability will test the Bulldogs differently than their first 2 opponents, and the Gamecocks have multiple running backs capable of controlling the game. Mississippi State should create several explosive plays and keep the score close into the fourth quarter. However, South Carolina’s defense and home-field advantage should make the difference during the closing possessions. Take the Gamecocks to secure the victory, but Mississippi State should stay within the number.
