Buffalo at Miami (Ohio) odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Buffalo Bulls at Miami (Ohio) Redhawks odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Buffalo Bulls (4-5, 2-3 MAC) and Miami (Ohio) Redhawks (4-5, 3-2) tangle in a Tuesday night MAC East battle at Yager Stadium in Oxford, Ohio. The “MACtion” contest is slated for a 7 p.m. ET kickoff. Below, we look at the Buffalo vs. Miami odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Buffalo was favored by 13.5 points over Bowling Green in its last game (Oct. 30). Despite piling up 36 first downs, the Bulls fell to the Falcons, 56-44. Junior RB Dylan McDuffie toted the ball 34 times in the game against Bowling Green. McDuffie has become a big part of the Bulls ‘offense and has three straight 100-yard games.

Miami is coming off a two-point loss at Ohio. The Redhawks ceded a 28-0 lead to the Bobcats before nearly coming all the way back in that game. A staunch MU defense yielded just 68 points over its previous four games. Miami now returns home where it is 3-0 this season.

Buffalo at Miami odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Buffalo 31, Miami 28

Money line

The Bulls clocked a 52-10 win over Miami last season. Buffalo’s best offensive performances this season are at least fairly close in the rearview mirror. The run game, in particular, figures to be leveraged in this game. The Bulls have rushed for 200-plus yards in three of their last four games.

Miami has a decent amount of explosiveness to its offense, but that’s just about it. On defense, the Redhawks have gotten drive stops at a rate perhaps not consistent with the more porous defense played down the rest of the field. Buffalo staying within three or four points is a solid projection here. Pulling off a victory is probable enough to offer some value on a BULLS (+230) play.

Against the spread

Over the last 20 games it was lined as a home favorite of 7.5-or-more, Miami has gone 6-14 ATS. The Bulls are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games following an ATS loss.

BACK BUFFALO +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

There is a minimum level of consistency needed to plug in offense expectancy and dial in on a range of score outcomes. Neither of these teams hits that minimum: STEER CLEAR OF THE O/U.

Buffalo at Nebraska odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Buffalo Bulls at Nebraska Cornhuskers odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Buffalo Bulls (1-0) and Nebraska Cornhuskers (1-1) meet Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Buffalo at Nebraska odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Buffalo trounced FCS Wagner 69-7 count last weekend, rolling up 312 rushing yards and passing for 257 yards while allowing a total of just 97 yards. The Bulls also recorded five sacks in the home victory, covering a 43.5-point number.

Nebraska bounced back after a 30-22 loss at Illinois in Week 0, pounding FCS Fordham by a 52-7 count. The Huskers racked up 329 rushing yards and 304 passing yards in the rout. It wasn’t all great as Nebraska lost two fumbles, but it did post three takeaways via interception.

Buffalo at Nebraska odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nebraska 31, Buffalo 24

Money line

Nebraska (-540) will cost you more than five times your potential return, and it’s not even a guarantee that it wins this game straight up.

AVOID.

Against the spread

BUFFALO +13.5 (-112) is the play against host Nebraska. The Bulls are 4-0 ATS across the past four non-conference games, while covering 13 of the past 16 games overall.

On the flip side, the Cornhuskers are just 2-6 ATS in the past eight outside of the Big Ten, while going 8-20-2 ATS in the previous 30 games at home. They’re also just 3-7 ATS in the previous 10 when favored.

Over/Under

OVER 54.5 (-112) is the lean, ever so slightly. Go very light as it will require a late score to push the Over across the finish line.

The Over is 8-1 in the past nine games in the month of September for Buffalo, while going 10-4 in the past 14 games overall. The Over is also 5-2 in the past seven at home for Nebraska.

Camellia Bowl: Buffalo vs. Marshall odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Buffalo Bulls vs. Marshall Thundering Herd Camellia Bowl sports betting odds and lines, with college football betting picks, tips and predictions.

The Buffalo Bulls (5-1) and the Marshall Thundering Herd (7-2) meet Friday for a 2:30 p.m. ET kickoff at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Ala., for the Camellia Bowl. Below, we analyze the Buffalo-Marshall college football betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Buffalo vs. Marshall: Betting odds, spread and lines

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 4:15 p.m. ET.

  • Money line: Buffalo -190 (bet $190 to win $100) | Marshall +155 (bet $100 to win $155)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Buffalo -4.5 (-110) | Marshall +4.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under: 54.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Buffalo vs. Marshall: Three things to know

  1. All eyes will be on Buffalo RB Jaret Patterson, who ended the regular season with 1,072 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns, while averaging 7.6 yards per carry. He rumbled for 409 yards and 8 touchdowns in a late November game against Kent State. Patterson hurt his right knee in the MAC Championship Game loss to Ball State, but head coach Lance Leipold said Patterson should be fine for the bowl.
  2. Buffalo isn’t a one trick pony, though, and Leipold didn’t rule out the possibility of Patterson being somewhat limited. That’s not the end of the world as RB Kevin Marks can get the job done, too. He had 603 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns on 77 totes. Buffalo ended up as the No. 1 rushing team in the nation with 309.2 yards per game, and it averaged 47.8 PPG to rank third in the country.
  3. Marshall had been rolling along and was ranked in the Top 25 with seven wins and five covers through the first seven games. But the Thundering Herd limped to the finish line, getting shutout in a 20-0 home loss to Rice Dec. 5, losing outright as 24.5-point favorites. They were then clipped at home 22-13 by UAB in the C-USA Championship Game as 4.5-point favorites Dec. 18.

Buffalo vs. Marshall: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Buffalo 31, Marshall 20

Money line (ML)

Buffalo (-190) will cost you more than two times your potential return, and that’s a little on the expensive side. Look to the spread instead. PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)

BUFFALO -4.5 (-110) is the play, as it just overwhelmed opponents with its one-two backfield punch. Regardless if Patterson is 100 percent, limited or even sidelined, Marks is more than ready and able to answer the bell if needed. Marshall did allow just 88.9 rushing YPG this season, but it never faced a stud RB like Patterson and/or Marks in C-USA play.

Marshall is 7-1 ATS across the past eight bowl games, but that’s in the past. More recently, the Herd are 1-4 ATS in the past five games, and 0-2 straight-up in the past two with a power outage on offense. That trumps historical bowl trends.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 54.5 (-110) is the lean in this bowl game. Marshall will slow down Buffalo’s rushing attack somewhat, as the Herd will be the best rushing defense the Bulls have seen all season. Buffalo will still make plenty of noise, however, and Marshall’s recent struggles on offense won’t be solved against an unheralded Bulls defense which allowed just 23.8 PPG and 379.2 total yards per contest.

Previewing Friday’s Ball State Cardinals vs. Buffalo Bulls sports betting odds and lines, with college football betting picks, tips and predictions.

The Ball State Cardinals (5-1, 5-1 MAC) and the Buffalo Bulls (5-0, 5-0) meet Friday for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Ford Field in Detroit for the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championship Game. Below, we analyze the Ball State-Buffalo college football betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

  • Against the spread/ATS: Ball State +13.5 (-110) | Buffalo -13.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under: 67.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Ball State vs. Buffalo: Three things to know

  1. The Cardinals of Ball State opened the season with a 38-31 loss at Miami-Ohio, but they rattled off five consecutive victories to win the West Division of the MAC. They also opened the season 0-3 ATS but covered in each of their final three outings.
  2. The Bulls ran through the East Division, posting 42 or more points in each of their five contests, including a 70-point effort against Kent State (Nov. 28). RB Jaret Patterson registered a ridiculous 409 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in that game, and he broke Ricky Williams’ two-game record with 710 rushing yards.
  3. Buffalo and Ball State played for the conference crown back in 2008. The Cardinals were favored by 15 in that game, but the Bulls ran away with a 42-24 victory. It was Ball State’s only other appearance in the MAC title game. Buffalo lost to Northern Illinois in the 2018 championship game, and its only title in two appearances came in that ’08 game vs. Ball State.

Ball State vs. Buffalo: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Buffalo 41, Ball State 31

Money line (ML)

Buffalo (-500) will cost you five times your potential return, and that’s risky business in a championship game. Ball State (+370) has a strong offense, and this will be anything but a pushover for the Bulls.

PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)

BALL STATE +13.5 (-110) is the play in this MAC battle, as the underdog generally shows up and keeps it close in Motown. The underdog has covered in four straight MAC Championship Games, nine of the past 12, and 15 of the past 22. That includes Buffalo’s win in 2008 over Ball State. The Cardinals also streak in on a 3-0 cover run.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 67.5 (-110) is the play. Ball State has gone for 27 or more points in each of its six games to date, and Buffalo has hit the Over in four of five while posting 42 or more points in each contest.

The Bulls averaged 344.2 rushing yards per game to rank first in the nation, and they also topped the charts with 51.8 points per game. The scoreboard operator at Ford Field isn’t used to putting a lot of points on the board for games of the NFL’s Detroit Lions, but they better be ready for plenty of points here.

Buffalo at Bowling Green: Three things to know

  1. The Bulls are coming off a 42-10 spanking of Miami-Ohio last week in Buffalo, thrashing the defending MAC champs for their second cover in as many outings. Buffalo has shown a nice balance on offense as QB Kyle Vantrease has passed for 528 yards with five touchdowns and one rushing TD, while RB Jaret Patterson has starred in the run game with 210 yards and four scores. Don’t forget about WR Antonio Nunn, who has 11 grabs for 239 yards and two TDs.
  2. Bowling Green was crushed at home by Kent State last week, falling 62-24. The Falcons have been outscored 100-27 with two non-covers in their first two games. The Falcons are allowing 595.5 total yards, 293.0 passing yards, 302.5 rushing yards and 50.0 PPG.
  3. Buffalo enters on a 5-0 ATS cover streak and is 6-0 ATS in the past six appearances on a Tuesday. Bowling Green is 5-21 ATS in its past 26 at Doyt Perry Stadium, and 5-16 ATS in its past 21 tries against winning sides. Buffalo is 6-0 ATS in the previous six in this series, and 6-1 ATS in the past seven trips to Bowling Green.

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.

Miami-Ohio at Buffalo: Three things to know

  1. Miami outdueled Ball State in a high scoring game in Oxford last week, winning 38-31 to cover as one-point dogs at home. QB Brett Gabbert exited the game in the second quarter with a head injury, but QB A.J. Mayer stepped right in and was effective, tossing three touchdowns. Gabbert’s status for Tuesday is uncertain.
  2. Buffalo rolled up three defensive touchdowns last week in a 49-30 road win and cover at Northern Illinois. The Bulls won by a healthy margin despite the fact they were actually outgained 397 to 357 in total yards. RB Jaret Patterson was the star on offense, running for 137 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
  3. The Bulls defense won the day in DeKalb last week, posting a plus-3 turnover ratio. Buffalo will be looking to avenge a 34-20 loss at Miami last season. That loss likely cost the Bulls a chance at a MAC East Division title.

Miami-Ohio at Buffalo: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Buffalo 34, Miami-Ohio 26

Money line (ML)

Buffalo (-304) is too expensive for my taste, as you need to risk more than three times your potential return against a Miami (+240) team with a powerful offense, which handled the Bulls last season. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

MIAMI-OHIO +8 (-115) won last season’s battle against Buffalo, and the Redhawks are looking to stay hot against the number. They’re an impressive 15-4 ATS in the past 19 MAC games. Regardless if Gabbert is healthy enough to play, or Mayer is under center, Miami is the play here catching close to double digits.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 55.5 (-106) is worth playing lightly based on the series trends. The Over is 5-2 in the past seven meetings at UB Stadium, and 6-1 in the previous seven meetings overall in this series. While the Under is the dominant trend for Miami in recent seasons, Buffalo has hit the Over in 10 of its past 11 Tuesday appearances. Plus, the Over is 15-5-1 in the Bulls’ past 21 MAC battles and 8-1-1 in their past 10 against winning teams.
