OUR PREDICTION: The Bulldogs have not fared well at the betting window in this series but with Nick Fitzgerald under center, they’ll at least have a shot to keep things close. He leads the team in touchdowns with 12, in rushing with 985 yards, and in passing at 2,172 yards. He and the Mississippi State offense should take advantage of an Ole Miss defense that has not stopped the run all season, allowing 227.3 rushing yards per game in 2016. The Rebels are also allowing 32.1 points per game, so grab the points with the dog.
