*10* Coach's Playbook on Mississippi State.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs are coming off a humbling loss at home to Alabama last week, and a road game at Arkansas looks like another tough spot. The Razorbacks have been rolling, coming off consecutive upsets of Ole Miss and LSU. They should be primed for a let down here this week though, and I'll take the points with the visitors.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Dak Prescott - The Bulldogs quarterback threw for 304 yards and four TDs on 27-of-40 passing in a win at Missouri in his last road game. That's pretty impressive when you consider that Missouri's defense ranks 5th nationally allowing opponents to average less than 15 points per game.

2. Previous History - The Bulldogs have won three straight in this series, with one of those wins coming at Arkansas. Prescott threw for 331 yards in last year's meeting.

3. X-Factor - The Razorbacks have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five home games.

Selection: This is a play on the Mississippi State Bulldogs (10*)
