Mississippi State at Arkansas – Sat, Nov 21, 7:00 PM ET

Point Spread: Arkansas -3.5

The Mississippi State Bulldogs took a beating at the hands of Alabama last weekend as the Crimson Tide defense sacked Dak Prescott nine times while the Arkansas Razorbacks were giving LSU a beating as they look to finish the season strong for a second straight year.

The Hogs are riding high after wins against Ole Miss and LSU in the last two weeks after a surprisingly poor start to the season. Plus, they’ll be in front of the home fans in D.W.R. Razorback Stadium which should be a boost for Bret Bielema’s team.

But I’m going with a hunch and going against conventional wisdom and picking Prescott and the Bulldogs to eke out a win. Prescott is the best player on the field and he’ll need to have a patented Prescott game where he throws for 250-plus yards and two-three touchdowns and add 100 yards and another score or two on the ground to lead Mississippi State to the win.

Does that sounds like a lot? Yeah. Is is something that Prescott can’t do? Nope.

Give me the Dawgs to pull off the road upset.
