Buffalo led 38-7 in the fourth quarter, but they did allow Akron to pull within eight points at one point in the fourth.

Ball State vs Buffalo Prediction 

Buffalo comes into this matchup looking to get bowl-eligible with a victory and they will be at home, but they played a pretty bad fourth quarter against Akron last week. The Bulls were outgained in last week’s win and their defense is a major concern. Ball State has alternated wins and losses over their last five games, but they have faced three solid teams in a row. The Cardinals have a decent passing attack and I think they will find success against this Buffalo defense. Take Ball State and the points here.
