All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Buffalo vs Ball State Game Preview


Why Buffalo Will Win

The Bulls desperately need to end their season on a high note.

It’s ben a rough run for the defense, but to pull this off and end 5-7 instead of 4-8, it’s all about controlling the clock. Buffalo has a terrific running game that averages close to 200 yards per game and converts on third down after third down.

They lead the MAC in sacks, they’re great in time of possession, and  on the flip side, Ball State doesn’t do nearly enough to get behind the line, it doesn’t control the clock, and the run D is spotty, to be nice.

Why Ball State Will Win

The Buffalo defense has gone bye-bye.

It struggled throughout the season and hasn’t been consistent, but just when it needed to rise up it crashed, allowing over 1,500 yards and 134 points over the last three games.

The Ball State defense hasn’t been any better lately, but the offense has the running game to point on a Bull run defense that should be a whole lot better considering the pressure it generates from the outside.

What’s Going To Happen

The Ball State offense is good enough to give all the parts of the passing game time to work.

Buffalo’s defense will be a tad worse than Ball State’s

MAC Championship: Ball State Cardinals vs. Buffalo Bulls live stream, TV channel, start time, odds, prediction

The Buffalo Bulls will face the Ball State Cardinals on Friday night in the MAC Championship from Ford Field in Detroit.

The Buffalo Bulls will face the Ball State Cardinals on Friday night in the MAC Championship from Ford Field in Detroit.

Buffalo comes into this game with a perfect 5-0 record this season behind Jaret Patterson, who has had a career year with the Bulls, at one point scoring 8 touchdowns in one game. Ball State comes into this one on a five-game winning streak after losing only one game this season. They will need to bring their A-game tonight to stop the Bulls rushing attack of Patterson.

This should be a high scoring game and a fun one to watch, here’s everything you need to know to stream the action tonight:

Ball State Cardinals vs. Buffalo Bulls

Prediction: If you have not seen Buffalo play this year you’re in for a treat, expect a high scoring game with a lot of touchdowns. Jaret Patterson will definitely be invited to the combine and the Bulls’ offense is tough to stop. I love the Bulls in this spot.
