Mississippi State vs Illinois Prediction, Picks & Odds | ReliaQuest Bowl Betting Advice | Jan 2

🏈 There will be many heavy hearts on the field for the ReliaQuest Bowl between Mississippi State and Illinois with Bulldogs head coach Mike Leach passing away recently. Defensive coordinator Zach Arnett will lead a Bulldogs team into Tampa winning their last two games of the regular season including an Egg Bowl win over arch rival Ole Miss. Quarterback Will Rogers was top 10 in the country in touchdown passes with 34, but he'll be put to the test against an Illinois defense that only allowed 12 points and 165 passing yards per game on the season. They'll be without their star running back Chase Brown who was third in the FBS in rushing yards on the season with 1,643.

Join Tony Finn, Bryan Power and Drew Martin as they give their ReliaQuest Bowl betting preview which kicks off January 2nd at noon ET. Mississippi State heads in as a 1.5-point favorite to win.
