Arkansas Razorbacks at Mississippi State Bulldogs score predictions

Mississippi State football is hoping to snap a six-game losing streak against an improved but inconsistent Arkansas team. Can MSU continue it's dominance over the Hogs and finally find a win, or does a painful season get worse?

Chase: Arkansas’s defense is on high alert after their performance last week. They will step up against the Bulldogs and show why they beat highly-ranked Tennessee earlier in the season. Mississippi State is hanging on as much as possible with their deficiencies. Mississippi State loses 42-21

Reed: I think State finally gets over the hump this game and wins. I think the reason is the play of Michael Van Buren, while Taylen Green has been inconsistent for Arkansas. I also think the play of State’s receivers will be more successful versus Arkansas than Arkansas’ offense will be versus State. Mississippi State wins 37-31

Andrew: This is the pivotal game of the season. State desperately needs to get a win, and if they can't win here, when will they? Unfortunately, I think Arkansas, despite their flaws, is a bad matchup for State on both lines of scrimmage. That will be the difference in the Bulldogs dropping another competitive game. Mississippi State loses 33-27
