This is a 10* SEC GOM on Mississippi State.

I'm banking on the 5-6 Bulldogs digging deep and, at the very least, keeping this one close enough to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch.

Ole Miss is 9-2 and in second place in the SEC West Division. Ole Miss hammered Louisiana-Monroe 35-3 last week, after getting smashed 52-17 to Georgia the week before.

Ole Miss averages 36.5 PPG, while allowing 23.7.

While the Rebels are 6-4-1 ATS overall this year, they're 0-2-1 ATS over their last three.

Mississippi State is 1-6 in SEC games. The oddsare are against the Bulldogs here, but they won't be rolling over.

After losing three straight they bounced back in fine form last week with a 41-20 win over Southern Miss.

Overall Ole Miss has averaged 23.2 PPG, while allowing 27.5.

The Egg Bowl has been decided by ten points or less in five of the last six in the series, and in my opinion all signs point to this pattern continuing.

Grab the points, the play is MISSISSIPPI STATE.

Good luck, NP
