The betting odds list Mississippi State as a 14-point favorite entering tonight’s Egg Bowl. But ESPN’s Football Power Index offers another, perhaps more likely chance, of a Bulldogs win from another perspective.
It lists Ole Miss as having a 13 percent chance of claiming the victory in Starkville.
It’s expected to be a lively atmosphere as athletics directors from both schools have warned fans to be responsible around the game.
The Bulldogs are looking for their second straight win in the series as they also have momentum from this season, with wins in five of six games. Ole Miss, meanwhile, has had an up and down year with consecutive wins followed by consecutive losses more than one.
