1. Mississippi State brings in a win on Senior Night

On Thanksgiving night in Starkville, a group of seniors will take the field for the last time. That is always a highly emotional time for a group of kids who have given their all to a program and Thursday night will be no different.

The Bulldogs have put together quite the season, sitting in the top 15 of the College Football Playoff rankings. There is no bigger motivator than emotions and these Mississippi State seniors will have quite a bit of them on Thursday.

My bold prediction? The Mississippi State Bulldogs win by at least 10 on Senior Night in Starkville. At least one senior puts up a career night and leaves Starkville with his head held high knowing he did all that he could to help his team. While the Rebels may fight hard and long, the Bulldogs have this one.
