Missouri vs Mississippi State Pick
Both quarterbacks have been extremely efficient, combining for 19 touchdown passes and only 1 interception. Missouri can keep Taylor on the sideline by establishing Roberts, but Mississippi State owns the more explosive offense and has several receivers capable of scoring quickly. Taylorβs mobility should create problems whenever Missouri pressures the quarterback or plays man coverage. The Bulldogs should benefit from home-field advantage and enter with momentum after their victory at South Carolina. Take Mississippi State to win and cover in a high-scoring matchup.
