Alabama vs Mississippi State Spread, Over/Under and Player Prop Picks

•  Alabama ATS (+1.5)

The college basketball spread has been jumping all over the place for this SEC clash. Mississippi State has been showing up as a 1.5-point favorite but so have the Alabama Crimson Tide. The Bulldogs are currently listed as a slight favorite.

Mississippi State better be ready because Alabama’s All-American guard Mark Sears should be a little fired up after sitting for the entire second half in a recent win over LSU.

It was the second time this season that he failed to score a point. That last time it happened, he had 24 points the next time out. Sears averaged 21.5 points in two games against the Bulldogs last season. That is something to consider when it comes to the college basketball props.

Mississippi State is 8-1 at home this season with two of the Bulldogs’ three wins over top 25 teams coming at home. However, Mississippi State is 0-3 both outright and against the spread when playing teams ranked in the top 10.

This could be a fun game to watch. Whether it is taking Alabama to cover against the spread or to win outright, go with the Crimson Tide when making college basketball game predictions.

Keep an eye on the college basketball injury updates. Mississippi State continues to be without Kanye Clary. Houston Mallette could return for Alabama but double-digit scorer Latrell Wrightsell is out for the season.

Bet On Alabama ATS +1.5

• Alabama vs Mississippi State Over 164.5

The 164.5-point total for the matchup between Alabama and Mississippi State is one of the highest among Wednesday’s games. That is understandable considering that Alabama comes in at No. 4 and Mississippi State is 19th in offensive efficiency according to the Pomeroy college basketball database.

Alabama has hit the 100-point mark in four of its last eight games with 88, 94 and 102 points being scored in the last three road games played by the Crimson Tide.

Mississippi State has been held to 66 and 56 points in its last two games against top-10 teams. However, both of those games came on the road. The Bulldogs have scored 90 points in both of its home games against ranked teams so taking the game to land over could be the way to proceed when looking at the Alabama vs Mississippi State best bets.
