Buffalo Looking to Increase its Win Streak to 3

Buffalo (5-5-0 ATS, 6-3-1 O/U) has been a strong Over team this season, and with the Total set at 49.5 here, it’s tempting to blindly offer up the Over in this game. With the exception of the Ohio University game (16 points), the Bulls have scored a lot of points over the last 5 games (51, 41, 41, 30), so CJ Ogbonna (1,791 passing yards, 13 TD, 4 Interceptions), RB Al-jay Henderson (688 rushing yards, 6 YD), and WR Victor Snow (498 receiving yards, 4 TD) should get theirs here against an Eastern Michigan team that allows 27.2 ppg (Tied #87). Buffalo allows 30.7 ppg (#104), so with the only real things on the line here being pride, winning (BUF) and losing (EMU) streaks, and potential Bowl eligibility for the hosts, this one could be a shootout.

Eastern Michigan Looks For Win, Bowl Eligibility

Eastern Michigan (7-3-0, 5-5-0 O/U) has been a great team to back at the betting windows this season, but here against Buffalo the Eagles will find themselves in a tough matchup where the Site might not matter and the little things like Field Position, Turnovers, and Special Teams may play a big part in who wins (and ultimately covers) this game. QB Cole Snyder is a dual threat for the Eagles who can throw (2,242 passing yards, 12 TD, 6 Interceptions) as well as run the ball (297 rushing yards, 4 TD) and with RB Delbert Mimms III (629 rushing yards, 7 TD, 4.1 ypc), and WRs Oran Singleton (627 receiving yards, 2 TD, 10,1 ypc), Terry Lockett Jr. (529 receiving yards, 3 TD, 14.3 ypc), and Markus Allen (405 receiving yards, 2 TD, 13.1 ypc) this team can get offense from a number of places. Eastern Michigan is averaging 27.3 ppg (#76).

Buffalo vs Eastern Michigan Pick and Prediction

This Week 13 MACtion game and free NCAAF pick and Buffalo vs Eastern Michigan prediction will look to the Totals market and back some team metrics and recent series Trends for the NCAAF betting advice. Eastern Michigan has seen 4 of the last 5 at Rynearson Stadium go Over the Total while the Over is 5-1 in the last 6 in this MAC series and 3-1 at this Site. Toss in the fact that the Bulls have played 6 straight Overs and that neither team is particularly strong defensively, backing the Over while it’s still under 50 points is the prescription. Many MAC games on Tuesdays and Wednesdays on primetime with mid-level to poor teams seem to fly well Over the Total.
