Mississippi State football vs. Arkansas predictions, picks, odds
Clarion Ledger reporter Sam Sklar’s prediction: Arkansas 27, Mississippi State 26
This is a very winnable game for MSU, which has played much better in three consecutive games. However, the defense is still a big concern. It’ll be tight in the fourth quarter, until Arkansas pulls ahead on a late game-winning field goal.
