Comments
Vandy’s coming off a 1-point loss at South Carolina. Mississippi State was pounded 49-9 at home by Alabama in its last game. I think State has the clear edge in this game. Vandy is slowly improving though, so the Bulldogs had better not show up sleepwalking. State wins by at least two touchdowns.
