Kamario Taylor Over 74.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Though Wake Forest has a respectable run defense, we saw the Demon Deacons surrender a 106-yard rushing output to Georgia Tech QB Haynes King earlier this season, suggesting elite runners at the QB spot can do damage.

With Blake Shapen opting out of the bowl game, Mississippi State QB Kamario Taylor should have every chance to display his electric athleticism after running for 173 yards in the Egg Bowl against Ole Miss.

Robby Ashford Over 220.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wake Forest’s passing offense was far from consistent this season. But the bowl game presents a favorable matchup for Robby Ashford, who looked better down the stretch. Ashford cleared this line in just five out of 11 games in an uneven season, but he logged passing totals of 292 and 342 yards in his last two games.

Ashford’s passing line could benefit from a negative game script (Wake Forest +3) and the weak Mississippi State secondary, which allows 227.5 passing yards per game (77th in FBS).

Our Philip Wood backs Ashford to reach the end zone using his legs in his Wake Forest vs. Mississippi State anytime touchdown scorer predictions.

Carlos Hernandez anytime TD scorer (+180) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mississippi State ranks as one of the worst scoring defenses in the country, allowing an average of 31.8 points per game (109th in FBS). With Ashford having thrown five touchdown passes across his last two games, the receiving corps for the Demon Deacons could present value against a Bulldogs secondary that's allowed 21 passing touchdowns.

Carlos Hernandez only hauled in three touchdowns all season, but all three came across his last three games of the year. Bet this prop at FanDuel for outlier +180 odds compared to the +115 to +125 at the other best sports betting sites.
