Mississippi State Bulldogs
Win Home
3.45
Breaking down this SEC showdown, Tennessee enters as a heavy road favorite with 1.33 odds implying a 75% win probability. Mississippi State's 3.45 underdog status suggests just a 29% chance. However, the combined probabilities exceed 100% due to the bookmaker's vig – when adjusted, the true odds shift to 72% Tennessee and 28% Mississippi State.
Calculating expected value reveals why the Bulldogs present the smarter wager. A $1 bet on Mississippi State returns $3.45 if they win (including stake), yielding an expected loss of 3.88¢. Tennessee's $1.33 return produces a slightly worse expected loss of 3.9¢. While microscopic, this difference consistently favors underdog bets long-term.
Beyond pure math, situational factors support this play. Davis Wade Stadium's raucous environment gives Mississippi State a tangible home-field edge, while Tennessee's steep odds leave minimal margin for error against a physical SEC West opponent. The Volunteers' defensive inconsistencies last season also suggest vulnerability against Mike Wright's dual-threat capabilities.
Value betting requires capitalizing on mispriced opportunities. Here, the market overcorrects for Tennessee's talent advantage, making Mississippi State's high-reward odds the statistically optimal choice despite the lower win probability.
