Sam Houston State vs. Missouri State Prediction

Sam Houston State's defense is the difference maker in this week's matchup with the Missouri State Bears. Both of these teams are very bad, but SHSU's defense will be the best unit on this field.

These offenses are equally poor, and both teams are worse than 120th in net adjusted EPA/play. However, the Bearkats rank 41st in defense success and they rank 17th in EPA/pass allowed. SHSU keeps this midweek matchup close.
