What to Know

Mississippi State will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-field advantage. The Mississippi State Bulldogs and the Kentucky Wildcats will face off in an SEC battle at 7:30 p.m. ET at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Last Saturday, things could have been worse for Mississippi State, but they could have been a whole lot better as they took a 27-13 loss to Auburn. The over/under was set at 40 points, so nice work oddsmakers; you were right on the money.

Despite their loss, Mississippi State saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Mike Wright, who threw for 161 yards and a touchdown, was perhaps the best of all.

Meanwhile, Kentucky's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their third straight loss. They took a 33-27 hit to the loss column at the hands of Tennessee.

Kentucky's defeat came about despite a quality game from Devin Leary, who threw for 372 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.8% of his passes. Dane Key was another key contributor, picking up 113 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Mississippi State's defeat dropped their record down to 4-4. As for Kentucky, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-3.

In addition to losing their last games, both teams failed to cover the spread. Looking forward, Kentucky is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by four points. Bettors picking Mississippi State against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a four-game streak of failing to cover when playing at home.

Mississippi State came up short against Kentucky when the teams last played back in October of 2022, falling 27-17. Thankfully for Mississippi State, Chris Rodriguez Jr. (who rushed for 197 yards and two touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
