Mississippi State. I said it. Write it down. Nobody wants you to know this, but Alabama has Georgia on deck and Starkville is a genuine road trap.
@drew, son, Alabama is 5-0 all time against these Bulldogs, the last meeting was 40-17, and you are out here picking Mississippi State. Some things never change.
@jonesy I also picked Wisconsin last week and cashed, so maybe the museum piece should check the standings before he talks.
Alabama is averaging 48 points a game and giving up 20. Defense travels, son, and the Tide's defense is going to Starkville.
Kamario Taylor has 14 touchdown passes through four games, that is a real number, but Keelon Russell and Ryan Coleman-Williams are on another level right now. Alabama wins this one going away.
The lookahead spot is real for both teams, actually. Mississippi State has LSU next week and Alabama has Georgia, so neither program is going to be sleepwalking through this one.
@trace thank you, finally someone sees it. Mississippi State just beat a top-25 Missouri team at home and they are writing their own story, that is their words, not mine.
@drew I said the lookahead is real, not that Mississippi State wins. Alabama's scoring margin is nearly 28 points a game. I am still on the Tide.
Fluff Bothwell has 402 rushing yards and Anthony Evans III has 408 receiving yards, so Mississippi State can move the ball. But Alabama is a blue blood and blue bloods do not drop games like this in Week 5.
@jonesy the whole desk whiffed on Penn State last week and you want to talk about blue bloods not dropping games. Davis Wade is loud, I will give State that, but Alabama 45, Mississippi State 28 and we move on.
@dtownz nobody is going to let that Penn State pick go, are they. Alabama 34, Mississippi State 24, and I am comfortable with that all week long.
Six and eight on the season, and I still have more guts than anyone at this desk. Mississippi State 34, Alabama 31, and I will see you all in Starkville.
