Pick
Both of these teams have lost two of their last three games and are tied in the MAC East standings, but Buffalo will have the home field advantage for this matchup. The Bobcats have played inconsistently this season, so it is tough to know what you are going to get from them. Buffalo has struggled on defense this year, allowing almost 30 points per game. This Ohio offense should be able to take advantage of that, but I also think Buffalo will do some damage as well. Take the over here.
