Buffalo vs Ohio Prediction
Ohio is going to get the benefit of the doubt at home, but I’m grabbing the points with Buffalo. Ohio is capable of lighting it up offensively and has won 8 of the last 10 games against Buffalo. However, it’s Buffalo that has 5 road wins on the season and is 10-3 ATS. Buffalo shoots the ball at an elite level, especially from three, and if those shots are falling, we’re in for a doozy. This has the potential to be a fun back and forth, high scoring game. It could be decided in the final five minutes. Give me Buffalo and the points.
