One more thing. I don't follow handicappers, but I respect Phil Steele. Here is his take on the game:
OLE MISS by 1 over Mississippi St - Has there been a more important Egg Bowl in recent history?
A win here could give MSU a spot in the CFB Playoff. Dan Mullen is 4-1 SU/ATS in this series but the
HT is on a 9-1 SU/7-2-1 ATS run. LY Mullen’s job was on the line and MSU was a 4 pt HD. The story of
the game was 3rd string Bulldog QB Damian Williams making his 1st start as Prescott & bkp Russell
were inj’d. Trailing 10-7 mid 3Q Prescott came off the bench even though he was not supposed to play.
MSU missed a GW 39 yd fg on the final play of regulation but in OT, Ole Miss QB Wallace had the ball
knocked loose at the 3 and it rolled in the EZ for a TB as the Bulldogs won 17-10 (+4). The Rebels are
off a 30-0 (-3) loss at Ark as we cashed our 3.5H LPS play on the UNDER. The gm was very misleading
as Ole Miss had a 316-311 yd edge but a 6-1 TO deficit that incl a 100-yd IR td. MSU is off a 51-0
(-29’) win over Vandy and got to 10 wins for the 1st time in schl history. It was also their largest SEC
win s/1936. LW’s misleading final and MSU’s late comeback vs Bama 2 wks ago gives us a little value
here and we’ll take the HT by the slimmest of margins.
