Why Mississippi State can cover
Mississippi State has put together three extremely impressive performances in a row following its loss to LSU. The Bulldogs have recorded blowout wins over Bowling Green, Texas A&M and Arkansas in consecutive weeks, giving them momentum heading into this game. They are led by junior quarterback Will Rogers, who has thrown for 2,110 yards and 22 touchdowns.
He completed 31 of 48 passes for 395 yards and three touchdowns against Arkansas, as the team finished with 568 total yards of offense. Kentucky is coming off back-to-back losses, including a shocking loss to South Carolina last week. Mississippi State picked up a 31-17 win over the Wildcats last year.
Why Kentucky can cover
This game is the epitome of a buy-low, sell-high spot. Kentucky is being discarded following its rough performance against South Carolina, while Mississippi State has looked fantastic in its last three games. However, the Wildcats had either won or covered the spread in five straight games prior to their loss to South Carolina, while Mississippi State was blown out by LSU in its last road game.
The Bulldogs have a huge showdown at No. 3 Alabama coming up next week, so this is a lookahead spot for them. Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is expected to return from an ankle injury after sitting out last week, which would give his team a major boost. The Wildcats are 11-2 in their last 13 home games and have covered the spread in four of their last five home games against Mississippi State.
