Buffalo vs Massachusetts Prediction
Massachusetts is the worst team in college football, as there’s not a single thing this team does well on either side of the ball, and it’s 1-5 ATS on the season. Basically, Massachusetts has zero being value and should be faded until further notice. Buffalo is limited offensively, but it’s won the games it’s supposed to win this season and brings an above average defense into this game. Buffalo is also 13-8 ATS in its last 21 games as a double-digit favorite. I want nothing to do with UMASS. Give me Buffalo in a road beat down.
