Alabama vs. Mississippi State Prediction: How Will Alabama's Offense Look?

The Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. the Alabama Crimson Tide will duel things out from Tuscaloosa for this SEC battle. Alabama is fresh off a heartbreaking loss to Tennessee last weekend, and they will look to respond with a big win over Mississippi State. If there is one thing to know about Nick Saban, it is that he rarely loses, and it is much rarer that he loses back-to-back games. Miss State enters play with a record of 5-2.

Alabama vs. Mississippi State Prediction

Despite the good start for Miss State, they enter this game as a three-touchdown underdog. The Bulldogs are ranked twenty-fourth in the nation, and with a win today, they would shoot up the polls. This is a team that is led by Will Rodgers, who is one of the best quarterbacks in State history. He will need to play one of his best games as Bulldog tonight if they want to pull off this big upset. Alabama knows that if they can win out, they still have a good chance to make the playoffs and play in an SEC Championship. A loss for Bama today, however, would likely end their playoff hopes.

I need you all to hold your breath on this play because I promise we will be sweating; I will be taking Alabama's team total under 41.5. This is a tall total, and I trust that the game script here favors the under. I expect the pace that State plays with to be slow, and I expect them to run the football often. That is pretty much the only way that they can pull off the win, in my eyes, if they can control the clock and keep Bama on the sideline. It is also important to note that this is an SEC defense that has been good this season.
