The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and Mississippi State Bulldogs open their 2021 regular season Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Louisiana Tech vs. Mississippi State odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.
Last year ended on a sour note for Louisiana Tech as it was thumped 38-3 by Georgia Southern in the New Orleans Bowl, but it was still a successful season. The Bulldogs were 0-3 SU/ATS against non-Conference USA FBS teams in 2020.
Mississippi State won just four games, but it capped off its seasons with a win in the Armed Forces Bowl over Tulsa. The “Air Raid” offense of head coach Mike Leach is still a work in progress as he gets more people in place to fit his offensive scheme.
