On the other side of this matchup is the Buffalo Bulls who come into this game with a 5-3 record overall and coming into this game they have won two games in a row. Each of the last two games, Buffalo has also covered the spread. In the last game against Western Michigan the offense was elite putting up 85 points and that led to an easy victory.

These are two teams who can score and this is going to be an up tempo game with very little defense being played by either team. Look for both teams to run up the score and that will lead to the over cashing with ease.
