The Under is tipped to cash in this SEC matchup.

Oklahoma’s offense has struggled almost all season and Mississippi State could be without starting quarterback Kamario Taylor once again, so points could be at a premium in this one.

Key Numbers – Another Oklahoma Game To Go Under Total?

The Under has cashed in 4 of Oklahoma’s 6 games
Oklahoma have scored 14 points or less in 4 of their last 5 games
Mississippi State have scored just 23 points across the last two games
Mississippi State failed to score a single point without Kamario Taylor last weekend

First Head-To-Head Meeting

This is the first ever meeting between the two teams

Oklahoma 3-3 Following Latest Defeat

Oklahoma head out on the road having suffered their third defeat of the season to fall to 3-3.

The Sooners enjoyed a winning start to the season as they shut out UTEP, 51-0, in a non-conference game.

They failed to build on that as they were upset in Michigan, 17-10, and although they rebounded a week later, they underwhelmed in a 14-6 victory over New Mexico.

Oklahoma then kicked off their SEC schedule with a 41-13 blowout loss at Georgia, only to bounce back with a 27-24 upset of Texas in the Red River Rivalry.

The Sooners again failed to follow up a win though, as they were beaten 21-13 at home by Kentucky last weekend.

Mississippi State Suffered Back-To-Back Losses

Mississippi State enter this matchup looking to rebound from back-to-back defeats that have dropped them to 4-2.

The Bulldogs opened the season with back-to-back non-conference wins, beating UL-Monroe 62-13 and Minnesota 38-13.

They then kicked off their SEC slate with a 41-34 victory in South Carolina, before returning home to down Missouri, 31-24.

Mississippi State have not won since though, as they saw their winning start end with a 56-23 blowout loss to Alabama.

That became back-to-back defeats for the Bulldogs last weekend, as they were shut out in a 31-0 loss at LSU.

Verdict

Oklahoma @ Mississippi State

Neither offense instils much confidence here – Oklahoma have struggled with the football all season and Mississippi State were a mess last weekend without Kamario Taylor.

Therefore we are backing the Sooners and Bulldogs to go under the total in this SEC showdown.
