Staff Prediction

This could be a sneaky good game. Although Drake as lost their last 2 games, they are a solid 8-3. Mississippi State is ranked 15th and has yet to lose a game on the season. Bulldogs leading scorer Tolu Smith has been averaging 18 points per game in his last 4 games. I think the Bulldogs could be looking ahead to a monster matchup vs Alabama next game and sleep on Drake. Take the Drake Bulldogs to cover the 5 points.

Staff Pick DRAKE ATS (+5)
