Mississippi State will host the 112th* Battle for the Golden Egg on Saturday night. Kickoff is set for 6:15 Central on ESPN2.
Mississippi State is a two point underdog in the game.
This marks the fourth straight Egg Bowl in which the home team is not favored. In 2012, MSU was a one point favorite. In 2013, Ole Miss was a three point favorite and in 2014 the game was a pick ’em. Las Vegas doesn’t seem to subscribe to the notion that many fans within the state do – the home team always wins, which has been the case in 14 of the last 16 Egg Bowls.
