Minnesota will host Mississippi State at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Saturday in a Week 2 non-conference college football game. Kick-off is scheduled for 3.30 p.m. ET, with coverage on CBS and Paramount+.

Mississippi State are listed as 1.5-point favourites, while the over/under is set at 54.5 points. The matchup is being framed as a close contest, with the Bulldogs carrying a narrow advantage on the betting line.

Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor reportedly completed 22 of 34 passes for four touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ 62–13 Week 1 win over Lamar.

CBS Sports reported that SportsLine’s model simulated the game 10,000 times and projected 54 total points. The model favours the under, which it says hit in 54 per cent of simulations.

SportsLine’s forecast is a prediction rather than a confirmed result, and the published odds and broadcast details may change before kick-off. The source material does not provide Minnesota’s Week 1 result.
