When the Mississippi State football team takes the field against the Kentucky Wildcats this Saturday, they will do so as a double digit favorite on the road against an SEC team. These things don’t happen very often.
This isn’t an instance of the Bulldogs playing a bad team. The Wildcats are 3-0 and riding the confidence of winning against the Florida Gators for the first time in 31 years. Kentucky may not be ranked by any poll, but they are a solid team that has an excellent chance of finishing with around 7 or 8 wins and challenging for second place in the SEC East.
