Buffalo at Bowling Green: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Buffalo 51, Bowling Green 10
Money line (ML)
Buffalo (-5000) will cost you $100 just to win $2. No one in their right mind can possibly think that’s a good idea or investment. AVOID.
Against the spread (ATS)
BUFFALO -30.5 (-139) is considered the favorite to win the MAC. Bowling Green will be neck-and-neck with Akron for the worst team in the MAC. The Bulls have dominated this series, and the road team is 10-4 ATS in the previous 14 meetings.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 57.5 (-110) is a decent small-unit play. Buffalo is going to score early and often, but it’s tough to count on Bowling Green to do anything. Playing the Over also goes against the series trends, as the Under is 6-2 in the previous eight meetings, and 4-0 in the past four at Bowling Green. Some trends are made to be broken.
