The Eastern Michigan Eagles and Buffalo Bulls face off on Tuesday in a college basketball showdown at UB Alumni Arena. When these two teams faced off in January of 2021 it was Buffalo that won 92-77. 

Eastern Michigan comes into this game with an 8-14 record overall and they have gone 11-10 against the spread. In the last game against Kent State, Eastern Michigan gave up 90 points and that led to the 19 point defeat. The Eagles are averaging 71.4 points while their defense is giving up 75.7 points per game. Noah Farrakhan has been the top player for Eastern Michigan averaging 16.4 points while shooting 40.2 percent from the field and 42.1 percent from behind the three point line. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Buffalo Bulls who sit with an 11-8 record and they have gone 9-8 against the spread. In the last game against Central Michigan, the defense was elite giving up only 54 points and that led to the 20 point victory. The Bulls are averaging 78.4 points while their defense is giving up 71.5 points per game. Jeenathan Williams has been the top player for Buffalo averaging 18.7 points while shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 43 percent from behind the three point line. There are three different players that are averaging at least 12.1 points per game. Buffalo has had a nice season, but at times they have played down to their competition. 

Buffalo is 0-4 against the spread in their last four games played on Tuesday. The under is 5-0 in the Bulls last five games as a favorite. The over is 6-1 in Eastern MIchigan’s last seven road games against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. 

Buffalo is a strong offensive team, but they are giving up 71.5 points per game and that defense is going to let Eastern Michigan stay in this game. Look for Eastern Michigan to score at least 72 points and they will cover the spread. In terms of the total I expect this to be high scoring and the over will cash.
