Our Pick:
Be wary of the letdown here. Mississippi State may have climbed into the top-25, but they’re still not good enough to overlook any FCS opponent – even one like UAB that has struggled on the road. The Blazers are 4-1 against the number in their last five games against the SEC, while the Bulldogs are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games versus a team with a losing record. Mississippi State is also 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games as a home favorite. Take the points and the Blazers tonight.
