Sunday's Play--Bulldogs Baby !!

first the re-cap. Split again yesterday, winning with Fla State and losing with Tulsa. Record now stands at 19-10-1 for my last 30.

For Sunday I like the Miss. State Bulldogs, +5 from Tennessee. Here's why. Tenn is 21-11 with an RPI of 23. They beat Miss State by 5 (in Tenny) on 2/25. Miss State is 22-12 with an RPI of 69. So why do I like the Bulldogs ?

Let's look at how they got to the championship game. Tenny had an easy road. They beat a lousy Alabama team (RPI 109) and a so-so Auburn team (RPI 59). Miss State had to play So. Carolina (RPI 63) and LSU (RPI 32). This team is battle-tested my friends.

Tenny shoots 67.5% from the free throw line while Miss State shoots a solid 71.1%. From the 3 point line, Miss State shoots a very respectable 36.7%, while Tenny shoots an SEC-worst 31.4%. Last but not least--Miss State gets up for the better teams, going 8-1 ATS against teams that average 77+ ppg.

The public is on Tenny, driving the line from 4.5 to 5 already. They are going to get bitten by the Bulldogs today.

Sunday's play is Mississippi State +5.

Here's a little different perspective for those siding with Tennessee in this one. Tennessee has won five straight games in this series (and has also covered six of its last eight vs. Miss State). Earlier this season, the Vols won 86-81 vs. the Bulldogs, and if history is any indication, that doesn't bode well for Rick Stansbury's men today, as SEC teams playing with revenge are an awful 3-14 ATS in the SEC Championship game (including 0 for 11 when priced from -3 to +15 points and 0 for their last seven overall). Take the Volunteers.
