Mississippi State Faces First Road Test Of 2024

The Mississippi State Bulldogs are on the road for the first time during the 2024 college football season. They got a big win at home in Week 1, beating up on the Eastern Kentucky Colonels in Starkville. But a Week 2 matchup against the Arizona State Sun Devils will be a much bigger test for the Bulldogs as they are an underdog for the first time this year.

Blake Shapen had an encouraging start to the year at the quarterback position for Mississippi State last week. He threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another 44 yards and a touchdown. While he faces tougher competition this week than he did last week, Shapen has at least inspired confidence that he is capable of putting together a strong performance ahead of this Mississippi State vs Arizona State matchup.

Sun Devils Look to Dominate For Second Straight Week

Arizona State won at home to open their season, beating the Wyoming Cowboys in non-conference action in Week 1. The Sun Devils beat Wyoming 48-7, dominating their Mountain West opponent in every facet of the game, outgaining Wyoming 499-118 and winning the turnover battle by a 3-0 margin. While Arizona State might not be able to count on that strong a performance in this contest, they are favored to win at home for the second week in a row.

What will be interesting to see is how Arizona State will react to any adversity that they run into in this weekend’s contest. The Sun Devils went up 48-0 against Wyoming and didn’t give up any points until the game was fully decided in the fourth quarter. Things are not likely to go that smoothly this weekend and it will be interesting to see how Arizona State plays in what should be a much closer contest.

Mississippi State vs Arizona State Best Bet

Our best bet for this Mississippi State vs Arizona State matchup is for the game to stay under the total. Both of the offenses in this game should be a little less effective than they were against inferior competition in Week 1. Look for tihs game to see the winner score in the low-30s at most in what should be a competitive clash in Tempe.
