Mississippi State Bulldogs Odds

Mississippi State Bulldogs Football

Mississippi State kicks off an important year for Bulldogs football as second-year head coach Jeff Lebby leads the team into the 2025 season. After a 2-10 record last year, Bulldogs faithful hope Lebby can revitalize the program, especially the offense. However, it remains a tough task, especially in the always-tough SEC, which welcomed powerhouses Texas and Oklahoma to the conference last year.

The offense runs through quarterback and 2023 Baylor transfer Blake Shapen, who could be the key to the team's fortunes in 2025. He will have a mix of returning teammates and transfers to air it out with.

The Bulldogs defense, though, remains a question mark for 2025. The team doesn't have much defensive production returning, and filled out a lot of it with transfers. That is probably a good thing though since the Bulldogs went 2-10 in 2024. Let's see how to bet on the Mississippi State Bulldogs in 2025.

Mississippi State Bulldogs Point Spreads

"Covering the spread" is a reference to a spread bet, which is a bet on how much a team will win the game by.

Here’s how a Bulldogs spread might look:

• Mississippi State -9.5 (-110)
• Arkansas +9.5 (-110)

If the Bulldogs win 31-21, they’re winners "against the spread" (ATS) since they need to win by at least 10 points to cash spread tickets. Arkansas, on the other hand, can cover with an outright win or a loss of no more than nine points.

Mississippi State Bulldogs Over/Unders

Betting on the Bulldogs' totals may prove to be smart in 2025 as the air raid offense looks to improve on their poor 2024 record.

Oddsmakers set the total at how many points they think will be scored, so it could be 47 for a game against powerhouse Alabama, for example. If you took the under, a 24-21 final means your bet pays off no matter who wins the game. If you bet over, you’d need to see at least 48 points scored between the two teams. Ties on the bet are possible, and they result in refunds for over and under bets.

Mississippi State Bulldogs Moneylines

Moneyline odds take into account how likely a team is to win the game and adjust payouts accordingly. A winning record doesn’t always mean a profit, especially if the team is often favored.

Miss. St. defeating Vanderbilt as a -300 favorite is fine, but a $30 bet pays out just $10. If you’re able to catch the Bulldogs as a +300 underdog, though, a $10 bet on them profits $30. These bets are simplest to understand with $10 or $100 as a unit, but the math is the same regardless of your bet size.

Mississippi State Bulldogs Props

Player props are bets on the stats put up by a player for a single game. You could bet on players' rushing or passing stats, for example. You can even bet on special teams players.

Mississippi State Bulldogs Futures

If you're optimistic about Miss. State's upcoming season, you can put your money down on a futures bet.

Futures are wagers that settle at the end of the season. For example, you can bet on the Bulldogs to win a national title (+100000) or the SEC (+30000). However, for more realistic options, you can also consider futures bets on Bulldogs players to win certain end-of-season awards. You can also bet on over/unders on team wins throughout the year, which is set at a low 4.0 for the 2025 Bulldogs.
