Missouri State travels to Middle Tennessee looking for its first conference win as an FBS school. The Bears are in their first year at the higher level as a member of Conference USA, and so far, they’ve handled things in an acceptable manner. Missouri State hasn’t looked overwhelmed the way Massachusetts has, yet it hasn’t set the world on fire like James Madison did. The Bears have competed and have won a couple of games to date.
Against Middle Tennessee, they’re the team expected to win, and it’s easy to see why. The Bears are coming off a visit from league leader Western Kentucky, which ended in a five-point win for the Hilltoppers. The score was a bit cosmetic, given that Missouri State scored a late touchdown, but that’s still an encouraging sign for the Bears to play to a respectable loss with their new league’s top tea

Our Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders vs Missouri State Bears Prediction
Missouri State has a clear edge in this game because of Middle Tennessee’s weak pass defense. The Blue Raiders don’t give up a lot of yards through the air, but they routinely get torched for touchdowns. With 13 allowed this season, Middle Tennessee has allowed the most scores through the air of any school in C-USA.
Although Middle has thrown the ball well at times, the Blue Raiders don’t run well at all, making them highly one-dimensional. Missouri State cashes multiple unders because it plays defense well enough to slow down better attacks than that of Middle Tennessee. With the game flow likely to favor Missouri State on both sides of the ball, it seems likely that the Bears will have little trouble exposing holes in the Blue Raiders’ defense.
Our prediction for Missouri State vs. Middle Tennessee is: Missouri State -2.5.
