Last time out, Mississippi State opened their season with a solid 49-23 home win over Memphis. The Bulldogs scored 14 points in the first quarter, and 14 in the second, to take a commanding lead into the half.

Series History: This will be the first meeting between these two schools.
Pick: Mississippi State was not expected to be good this season, but a promising week one win brings some hope to Starkville. Speaking of poor preseason expectations, Arizona was expected to be one of the worst teams in the country, but Jed Fisch had his guys ready in week one for the upset win. Both these teams are still unknowns, so I am going to back Arizona and the points.
