College Football Odds: Miss State Gets First Taste of NCAA Adversity

The Mississippi State Bulldogs were an undefeated force dominating
the NCAA ranks prior to a Week 12 loss against No. 5 Alabama. Now their
spot among college football’s playoff-bound top four is in jeopardy.
Miss State is still 8/1 to win the NCAA Football Championship, but it
will be challenging.

Still reeling from the five-point loss to the Crimson Tide,
Mississippi State would benefit from a victory over Vanderbilt. The
college football odds lean heavily in Mississippi’s favor, indicative of
what’s expected out of the Bulldogs heading into Week 13.


With so many teams still capable of earning the fourth and final
playoff spot, the Bulldogs will need to pull out all the stops during
the final stretch of their regular season campaign – even if that means
blowing out the -29.5 spread versus Vanderbilt.


Quarterback Dak Prescott has done a fine job keeping the Bulldogs at
the top of their game this season, throwing for 20 touchdowns and
running in 11 of his own. Now that the squad has faced its first taste
of adversity, his leadership skills will be tested. There’s plenty of
action to be played in the final weeks of the regular season.
