Score predictions for Mississippi State football vs the Missouri Tigers

Finally, how does the Maroon and White Nation team feel about the Bulldogs this weekend. Here are our predictions for State's final home game against Missouri...

Chase: I do not see Mississippi State containing Missouri’s offense with Brady Cook playing this weekend. Mississippi State is possibly looking towards next season with the amount of things that have gone wrong this year. I expect the Bulldogs to fight to the very end, but Starkville will see another letdown by the Bulldogs. Mississippi State loses 35-13

Reed: I am going with another upset here. I think this will be similar to the game in 2020, and Michael Van Buren will make enough plays for State to win. I think Missouri will not be motivated since they are essentially eliminated from playoff contention. Mississippi State wins 34-30

Andrew: I expect a strong effort from State on Senior Day, but I don't expect it to be enough. Missouri, despite the loss, looked a lot better in the second half against South Carolina. I don't trust the defense to get any stops, and Mizzou's defense has played well against all but the best offenses they've faced. I see another tough loss for the Bulldogs. Mississippi State loses 38-27
