Mississippi State Football Betting Odds to Win the SEC Championship in 2022
Mississippi State football faces one of the toughest schedules in the nation this season. However, the Bulldogs return numerous elite talent that look to lead MSU through the grueling SEC West.
In 2021, Mike Leach and the Bulldogs finished with a record of 7-6 (4-4 in SEC play). MSU ended the season with a disappointing loss to Texas Tech in the Liberty Bowl. Even though the 2021-2022 season did not end as the Bulldogs hoped, there is still much to look forward to this season.
Quarterback Will Rogers returns to MSU for his junior year, and looks to be one of the top signal-callers in the Southeastern Conference this year. Rogers shattered many program and SEC records last year, recording 4,739 passing yards with 36 passing touchdowns and nine interceptions. Rogers also finished last season with an impressive 73.9% completion rate, ranking first in the nation in that category.
Alongside Rogers are a number of elite wideouts such as Jaden Walley, Austin Williams, Jamire Calvin, and RaRa Thomas to name a few. There are questions surrounding the offensive line but with talented linemen such as Percy Lewis and Albert Reese IV stepping up at tackle for the Bulldogs, Rogers should have good protection in the pocket this season.
The defensive unit for the Bulldogs looks to be equally impressive, returning many starters from last season to go along with talented transfers such as defensive back Marcus Banks. To go along with talented defensive backs such as Banks and Emmanuel Forbes, the Bulldogs have a talented linebacking corps featuring Jett Johnson and elite edge rusher Tyrus Wheat.
MSU has an opportunity to impress the country in 2022 with arguably the toughest schedule in the nation and it will be interesting to see how things shake out.
