Missouri Tigers vs Mississippi State Bulldogs Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/23/24

The Missouri Tigers take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs in an SEC matchup on Saturday. Missouri would like to think it has an outside shot at the College Football Playoff, but at 7-3 it’s probably out. The Tigers’ loss to South Carolina last week might have sealed their fate. They can still go to a good bowl game and get to a 9-win season with a win in this matchup. Mississippi State is at the bottom of the SEC with a 0-6 conference record and 2-8 overall. The Bulldogs have been struggling this season and the struggles will most likely continue through the end of the year. They still have 9th-ranked Ole Miss left after this week’s game against the 23rd-ranked team. It’s going to be an uphill climb for Mississippi State in this game, but it would love to play spoiler against an SEC opponent. 

Mississippi State has not won many games this season but it has covered spreads. The Bulldogs are 6-4 ATS but haven’t covered a spread under 10 all season. They have been covering big spreads against more talented opponents, but this one is not so big. Missouri has also been covering with a 6-4 ATS record on the season and has covered 4 of its last 5. Three of those last 4 have been under 10.5, as well. Missouri boasts the 17th-ranked defense in the country, allowing only 294.9 yards and 18.4 points per game. It has propelled the Tigers to win plenty of game, with a 7-3 record. They will almost certainly improve to 8 wins following this contest. Mississippi State just can not compete in the SEC this year. The Bulldogs have not won an SEC game and haven’t come close to winning an SEC game. Missouri is 11-3 straight up in its last 14 overall and 4-1 ATS in its last 5. I’m taking the Tigers to cover on the road against an inferior Mississippi State team.
