The Egg Bowl- 107th Battle

This coming Saturday night, a championship game will be played in the state of Mississippi. And while this game won't decide national or even conference championships, it WILL decide who gets bragging rights for the next 366 days. The 107th meeting between Ole Miss and MSU will take place in Starkville . The game will be broadcasted on ESPNU at 6 p.m. The are several story lines going into Saturday night's game. For Ole Miss, Houston Nutt and his assistants will be coaching their last game as the Ole Miss coaching staff, capping off a more than disappointing season. But rest assured that his players will want to send him off a winner. For Mississippi State, there is a sense of confidence, maybe even arrogance surrounding this match up. And maybe rightfully so. State will enter Davis-Wade Stadium winners of the past two egg bowls. They will also enter as the largest favorite in egg bowl history. The spread on this game is 17.5(!!!) points.

( I don't care who you pull for, this is AWESOME.)

Ole Miss enters this game with the 94th worst total defense in the division 1. Out of 120 teams.
And it could be worse. State has the 87th worst total offense in the nation averaging about 386 yards per game. However (Ole Miss fans) if you just laughed at that,save your breathe. Ole Miss is 114th in total offense. Yeah. And State has a pretty good defense. 32nd in the nation in scoring defense. Oh, and by the way. Numbers mean nothing in such a heated rivalry. So forget everything I just said.

You know? Honestly there's only one chance Ole Miss has in my mind. If Ole Miss's freshmen come out to play for coach Nutt, Mississippi State might just have a game on their hands.

The Stake's are high. Bragging rights. A bowl game for Mississippi State. And for Ole Miss, nothing could be sweeter than denying MSU a bowl game.

MSU's Right Tackle Addison Lawrence said it best. "I think they're going to come out fired up and hot, but if we jump on them, I think they'll kind of lay down. I feel like they're wanting to lay down in a way, because of the things that have been happening here recently."

Prediction: As a state fan I HAVE to pick State. However I will pick 2 outcomes so I don't seem TOO biased.

1. MSU- 38, Ole Miss- 10
2. MSU- 42, Ole Miss-35 2OT
