Why in the past 7 games the Bulldogs haven't played anyone in Bama's calibre? This is a blowout in Bama's favor.

This game will be everything for miss st.....they will be ready....bama might get caught looking ahead to LSU!!!

I am with you edmunds, this line is way inflated by expectations that everyone will bet Bama.  I think Bama wins the game at home, but it will be much more competitive than many think.  Tyler Wilson is the best QB Bama has faced this year, and the MSU defense is capable of making the Tide work for points.  I am not sold on the Bama offense so I think we see Alabama pushed a little this week.  MSU always has a tough front 7 to run against.  It would be an upset if MSU wins, but not a huge shock. 

Mullen always a little wrinkle or two in his offenses.  You saw Florida fall off when he left as OC to take the head job at Miss State. Bama has LSU next week so don't  discount them looking ahead a little.  I expected a line around 10-13 points, very excited to get this cushion at the opening kick.   

Miss State   +24     4 unit play for me

Fair point, but have you turned that around and looked at it?  Bama does not play Florida, Georgia, or LSU out of the East, and has yet to play A&M or LSU in the West.  So who have they beaten?  TN and Michigan?  Not saying Alabama isn't good, but they haven't been tested yet.  I think they win at home, probably by 10-17 points but I wouldn't be surorised to see MSU take them to the wire.  They are one of the few teams that can play Bama physically.

Miss st has the best QB in the SEC hands down.. that being said if the O line can give him time all night long its gonna be a close one!! no way BAMA beats state by 24 if russel gets time.. another point mullen will have a trick or two for the number one team in the land and you can bank on that..

Hello everyone, huge sports fan and new to the site.  Not new to gambling on sports though, I was looking at sport select lotto odds in Calgary Canada here and Mississippi  is a huge 7-1 pay out if they win by 4 or more... Is there any hope Mississippi can pull this off, both teams are 7-0 this is very interesting.  I know the NFL quite well but kind of a newb to Col.FB.  Some feedback on my betting idea would be nice.  Do I have better odds getting --->   ?  A tie with a +/- of 3 pays 6.25-1 maybe thats a better bet?  Am I dreaming here folks? lol

You're dreaming. Mississippi State are 7-0 and hasn't been tested at all. Bulldogs have strolled through a cushy schedule. Their best win:was against the Vols which they were behind at halftime at home and finally took over late and won by 10, but they did give up 31 points. Bama is a machine and MSU is simply in the way.

Go back to sleep and I'll wake you up when the NHL comes back sometime in 2013.
