Miss State has relied on the run and a smashmouth defence to get to 8-4 and We don&#8217;t expect a lot of passing\u00a0in this one. Their losses have been to Kentucky, Florida LSU and Alabama so no upsets there and they have decent wins over Texas A&amp;M and Auburn on the resume &#8211; both of who won their\u00a0bowl games with considerable ease.<\/p>\n<p>Iowa are\u00a0never an easy team to beat but losses to Penn State, Wisconsin, Purdue &amp; Northwestern don&#8217;t\u00a0have the same kudos and wins wise there is nothing of note apart from a low scoring one over Iowa State. Without one of their key offensive weapons in Fant, we think they will struggle to score.<\/p>\n<p>Having said al that Miss State hardly set the scoreboard alight and points should be at a premium. Miss State starts as 7 points favourite and we think they will just cover it.<\/p>\n<p>Our prediction is for Miss State to win 24-14.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Image Credit squarelogo\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; 2018 Outback Bowl SEC v Big Ten The Outback Bowl has the look of a defensive slugfest and probably more so now that Iowa tight end Noah Fant is sitting it out to focus on the draft.
