Mississippi State at Georgia Tech picks and predictions
Prediction
Mississippi State 75, Georgia Tech 64
Moneyline
Mississippi State (-420) will cost you more than 4 times your potential return, and that's way too much risk and not enough reward, even backing the ranked and unbeaten Bulldogs.
PASS, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread
MISSISSIPPI STATE -8.5 (-115) is worth a look laying the points. While the Bulldogs are 5-1 ATS to date, there is still plenty of risk on the road against an ACC team.
Georgia Tech +8.5 (-105) was blasted by Cincinnati by 35 points in the only previous game against a Power 6 opponent, and it has failed to cover in 3 straight since belting a winless Georgia Southern team in the opener on Nov. 6.

Over/Under
UNDER 139.5 (-110) is worth playing, but be careful and play a half-unit at most.
The Under has cashed in the past 2 games for Georgia Tech, but the defense has allowed 85 or more points in 2 of the previous 3 contests.
The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games overall for Mississippi State, and it has allowed 64 or fewer points in all 6 games to date. As long as the Georgia Tech defense isn't absolutely horrific, we should see the total go low.
