UMass vs Mississippi State Betting Pick & Preview – 11/2/2024
The UMass Minutemen are set to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs on November 2, 2024, at 4:15 pm ET. The initial odds from DraftKings Sportsbook have the UMass Minutemen as 18 point underdogs. The total of 59.0 has seen 29% of bets placed on the under and 71% on the over. Here, we break down UMass vs Mississippi State and determine if the SEC team will hold serve or if they will be put on upset alert.
UMass Still Winless Against FBS Competition
Going into Saturday's action, the UMass Minutemen are 2-6 on the season, with both of those wins coming against FCS opponents. The Minutemen have wins over Central Connecticut and Wagner under their belts, but haven't beat anyone else. The Minutemen have one game against an SEC opponent under their belt already this year, a 45-3 home loss to Missouri. Here, they will look to perform better on the road, albeit against a much worse SEC opponent than Missouri was.
Mississippi State Looking For Break From Nightmare SEC Season
This season has been dreadful for Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are 1-7 overall this season and 0-5 in the SEC to this point in the year. This game represents a rare chance for the Bulldogs to pick up a win, as they look to improve to 2-7 on the year. But for that to happen, the defense of the Bulldogs has to be better than it has been for most of this season. Mississippi State has allowed 36.4 points per game on the season, one of the worst marks in FBS football, which could put them in trouble even against UMass.
UMass vs Mississippi State Best Bet
We are concerned about the defense of Mississippi State going into Saturday's UMass vs Mississippi State matchup. So instead of betting on the Bulldogs to cover a big number against an inferior opponent, we will instead recommend betting on the over in this contest. Look for both teams to do some scoring and for this game to get into the 60s, as we don't anticipate either team doing enough on defense to win this game in convincing fashion.
