Mississippi State vs. Texas BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Longhorns. I know this is a massive number for a conference game, but this is going to get ugly. The Bulldogs lost their senior starting quarterback last week in a 17-point home loss last week to a Gators team that is not very good. On the other side if Ewers or Manning starts at quarterback I am still confident in the Longhorns covering this number. I think the Longhorns hang 50+ on the Bulldogs defense, which should hopefully cover the large number for Texas.
