Arkansas -11

Tough not to like the Razorbacks in this one.....

Mallet should have a field day.    

And now since they're bowl eligible, I can't see them slowing down with two games left for the year. 

Projection:    ARK - 48       State - 23

ATL, dude do you really see State scoring 23?  I know Ark defense is suspect, but really?  I'm not being sarcastic, cuz if ark gives up 23 i dunno states d isnt chopped liver.

Mississippi had played all their SEC close up until Alabama last week.  Even stayed with ten of the Gators.  Arkansas has been putting up impressive wins the last three weeks against weak teams.  I see a capable, pissed-off Bulldogs team against over-confident Razorbacks.  Too many points...

MISSISSIPPI STATE +11½

OK, so the Bulldogs have a good defense.  How does that change anything?

Mush - I understand what you're saying, but I also know that State would come out in this one and fight hard for a victory.  As I type this, they've put up 21 on the Backs and there's still 10 minutes left in the fourth. 

Don't get me wrong - I hope they don't score anymore (Got Arkansas -11 for my survivor pick), but had a good idea it would be in the early 20's.
