The Buffaloes are 24-54-1 ATS in their last 79 road games. The Bears should get knocked off their high horse in this one as they one their last game due to a single player’s performance. The Golden Bears are 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games overall, but are not a better team than the Buffaloes. I won’t let recent play blind me from the better team in this match up.
