E. Tennessee State at Mississippi State

It isn't too often you see an SEC team that is 6-2, playing at home, and a very short favorite against the likes of a small conference school. Mississippi State will do battle with an upstart Eastern Tennessee State team that is off to a 7-2 start to the season. The Buccaneers have a lot of weapons and experience, and they have dropped 85 or more points in five of their games. They have also been big off the glass where they are +75 through their nine games or +8.3 per contest. Miss State has not been tested and have questionable losses vs. Central Florida by 25 and Lehigh by 14. Unlike the Bucs, the Bulldogs have not hit the glass, and have been outrebounded by their opponents on the season, and many games are won and lost off the glass, and there is a big edge for the visitor. Make the play on Eastern Tennessee State.
