The Mississippi State Bulldogs are 38.5-point underdogs against the Texas Longhorns in their upcoming game on September 28, 2024, at 4:15 pm ET according to DraftKings Sportsbook.

Continue reading for our best bet for this Mississippi State vs Texas matchup in college football.

Struggling Mississippi State Hopes to End Losing Streak

The Mississippi State Bulldogs are 1-3 to start their season, entering this matchup against Texas on a three-game losing streak. They are 0-3 against FBS competition, with their lone win coming against Eastern Kentucky of the FCS. After getting beaten 45-28 at home by Florida last week, there are some major questions about the Bulldogs on both sides of the ball. Things are not expected to get any better this week as the Bulldogs face a Texas team that has steamrolled everyone in their path early in the season.

Texas Gears Up For First SEC Game

This season has started off perfectly for the Texas Longhorns, as they are 4-0 after a perfect non-conference campaign. The Longhorns have outscored their four opponents by a combined margin of 190-22. But it is possible that the start of SEC play will bring bigger challenges for the Longhorns, who will look to prove that they belong in the toughest conference in college football this season. If Texas can set the tone for their conference season in this game, it would go a long way toward easing concerns about their viability in this conference moving forward.

Mississippi State vs Texas Best Bet

Our best bet for Saturday's Mississippi State vs Texas matchup is for the Longhorns to cover the spread as a 39.5-point favorite. The Longhorns have been incredible on both sides of the ball early in the year, while Mississippi State is getting bossed around by inferior programs like Toledo early in the year. Look for the Longhorns to win this game in blowout fashion to set up what should be a fascinating Red River Rivalry game against Oklahoma after their bye week.
