Buffalo is 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games, 7-3 on the money line, and the over is 7-3.
The Bulls have done well at home, winning 16 of their last 18 games there. However, they have struggled against ranked opponents, winning just one of 14 games all-time. Coastal Carolina has been on a roll, winning their first two games handedly after going undefeated during the regular season in 2020. Sophomore Quarterback Grayson McCall has taken a big step forward to start his second season, which in turn has turned the Chanticleers into one of the most potent offenses in the nation. Buffalo does not have the juice on offense to keep up on the scoreboard. Give me Coastal Carolina to run away with this one.
