The Florida Gators (1-2) have their first road matchup of the season as they travel up to Starkville, Mississippi and face the Mississippi State Bulldogs (1-2) this Saturday. If you’re looking to do some early betting research, you’re in luck!
We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet.
Both Florida and Mississippi State have had their fair share of struggles to start out their seasons.
With rumors circulating around Gators head coach Billy Napier and his job security, that has to be a big distraction for the team and it will be interesting to see if they let it affect them this week.
Mississippi State got blown out at home against Toledo last week and the’ve found themselves in a hole as well. With a loss to Arizona State in Week 2, the Bulldogs have lost back-to-back games with their one win coming in the first game of the season against Eastern Kentucky.
It’s a matchup between the bottom feeders of the SEC and the odds might surprise you.
Below is what the odds are at as of now.

Advice and Prediction
The Gators have notoriously been known for having struggles on the road under Napier, having a 5-7 record. I just don’t see how a team that’s been having issues on their home field can go up to Mississippi State and find success.
And those cowbells are loud and they don’t stop ringing. I’d fade Florida football for the remainder of the season until they can prove otherwise.
Advice:
Under 57.5 points
Mississippi State spread (+5.5)
Mississippi State money line (+170)
Score Prediction: Mississippi State beats Florida 28-21
