How to watch, odds, injuries, weather, and more for Mississippi State vs Missouri
Mississippi State football (2-8, 0-6 SEC) comes off their bye week hoping to find any sort of late-season positives. They'll host #23 Missouri (7-3, 3-3 SEC) in Starkville on Saturday. Here's how you can watch plus some notes on the matchup...
Game time and TV channel for Mississippi State Bulldogs vs Missouri Tigers
It'll be an afternoon kick at Davis Wade Stadium for Saturday's matchup between the Bulldogs and Tigers. The game is set to kickoff at 3:15 PM CT. It will be broadcast on the SEC Network, with Taylor Zarzour and Matt Stinchcomb on the call. This might as well be the "Mississippi State timeslot". This is the fifth time this year the Bulldogs have had a 3:15 kick on the SEC Network and the third time that Zarzour and Stinchcomb are calling the game.
Missouri at Mississippi State point spread
The Bulldogs are underdogs to the Tigers by a bit more than a touchdown. As of Wednesday night, Missouri is a 7.5 point favorite going into Starkville according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The over/ under for the game is set at 57.5.
Injury report for Mississippi State and Missouri
As of Wednesday night, there are no notable injuries to report for this matchup. Every Mississippi State player out is someone who has been out for the past several weeks, and with Brady Cook back in the lineup for Missouri last week, it appears the Tigers' QB will be set to play once again this weekend.
Weather forecast in Starkville Saturday
Bulldog fans will get their first chilly game of the year on Saturday. Afternoon temperatures in Starkville are expected to top-out at about 60 degrees under sunny skies. Temperatures will drop during the game, and once the sun sets for the second half, we could see it get down into the low-50s. It won't be frigid, but I'd imagine most fans will want to dress warm.
FPI prediction for Mississippi State football vs Missouri
Though Mizzou looks to be one of the more beatable SEC teams (despite their 7-3 record), the analytics don't love State's chances here. ESPN's FPI ratings give the Bulldogs just a 28.7% chance of pulling off the upset.
Score prediction for Mississippi State Bulldogs vs Missouri Tigers
While I'd love nothing more than for State to get a desperately-needed win on Senior Day and create some good vibes before the Egg Bowl, I don't think it happens. Mizzou is beatable, but they're still far better than the Bulldogs.
