Missouri at Mississippi State

Missouri has lost two straight contests and three of its last four. The Tigers fell flat on offense in a 60-49 loss at Texas A&M in its last road contest. The Tigers are thin in the backcourt, as point guard Terrence Phillips has been suspended indefinitely. Missouri has a losing road record and faces a Mississippi State squad that is 13-1 straight up at home and a terrific defensive team, leading the SEC in scoring defense (65.4 points). Mississippi State is home after playing four of six on the road and the team is 22-8 ATS after a spread loss, so back the home team. Back Mississippi State.
