Miss state help

I can tell you this.  Yes, everyone wants on the team to send Dak out a winner but a couple of considerations for you to consider:

Yes NC State hasn't beaten anyone worth noting this year but MS State has lost their top CB (Rated as 1st - 3rd round pick in NFL draft) and top safety throughout the year to injuries.  Our defense as a whole is decent at best but I am sure that NC State will put up plenty of points.  The DL depth is not what it was last year (lost two DLs to NFL) and also lost best LB to NFL.  Also, Chris Jones is most likely going to NFL so he might put on a show because he's been the best defensive player State has had all year.  State's defense is rotating in a bunch of redshirt/true freshman (B. Bryant, J. Peters, G. Green) so this is their first bowl experience; who knows how they will react.  Bottom line is I am fairly convinced that NC State will score often today.

On the flip side, Dak Prescott is the sole reason is in a bowl game this year.  The guy carried State to 8 wins even though State has the worst run game/running backs they've ever had to go along with a putrid offensive line.  Against Ole Miss and Alabama, Dak was hurried and pressured all game long to go along with about 15 sacks.  Good news is that NC State's defense is nowhere near the caliber of Ole Miss or Alabama.  So, Dak will be able to move the ball and score because we have two quality receivers in Wilson and Ross. 

I guess it comes down to this.  They will score, we will score, but laying about -200 to -250 is something I wouldn't do due to the lack of a good defense and ZERO running game.

Sorry for the scattered thoughts..might have helped you but might not have. 

Good luck and hope you win whatever you decide.
