The Mississippi State Bulldogs are off to a perfect 9-0 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season. They are first in the Southeastern Conference and are coming off a win against the Minnesota Golden Gophers (69-51) in their last outing.
They will now take on the Jackson State Tigers, who are on a terrible 1-8 start to the season, tenth in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, and on a two-game losing streak. They lost to the Akron Zips (85-72) in their previous game. The Bulldogs will host this game at the Humphrey Coliseum on Wednesday (December 14) where they will look to secure their tenth consecutive win of the season.
Mississippi State Bulldogs vs Jackson State Tigers: Betting Odds
The Bulldogs are having their best start ever to a season. They are on a nine-game winning start. Their most impressive wins have come against the Utah Utes (52-49) and the Marquette Golden Eagles (58-55). This will be their sixth home game of the season where they are currently 5-0.
The team is scoring a decent 70.0 points per game but it is their defense that is doing all the talking. They are conceding only 49.8 points per game, which ranks them second in the league. It will be a monumental task for the Tigers to get past their defense tonight.
The Tigers have only one win in nine games so far. The win came against the SMU Mustangs (69-68). They need a series of wins to get their season back on track, which looks extremely difficult. They are only averaging 68.3 points per game while conceding a huge 82.0 points.

Mississippi State Bulldogs vs Jackson State Tigers: Prediction
The two teams have met three times and the Bulldogs have come out as winners on all three occasions. They are too strong a team for the Tigers at the moment, both in offense and defense. Eight out of Mississippi's last ten games have not crossed the total mark. They have also not crossed the total mark in their last four games after an against-the-spread win.
The Tigers will have an extremely difficult away game tonight. They are not in the same league in terms of quality compared to the Bulldogs. Expect an easy win for the home team.
Final Prediction: Total Under 130.5 (-110)
