All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Buffalo vs Kent State Game Preview


Why Buffalo Will Win

The Bulls are owning third downs on offense.

They’re not getting enough out of the running game, and the offense is struggling to put up big plays, but it’s No. 1 in the MAC on third downs – converting 51% of the time – helped by a pass rush and a defensive front that can get into the Kent State backfield enough to be a bother.

For all of the good things the Golden Flashes do, they don’t do much to keep defenses out of the backfield.

Why Kent State Will Win

The offense is staring to perk up again.

It couldn’t get going against Iowa – no shame there – but the passing attack was solid against Maryland and the rushing attack ripped through Bowling Green.

Buffalo might be solid defensively in a whole slew of ways, but it’s getting hit way too hard by most ground games. The Bulls are allowing well over 420 yards of offense over each of the last four games, and it’s about to have a problem once the FlashFast attack starts to work.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Kent State get out to a lead?

Buffalo’s offense isn’t coming up with the consistent pop to mount a big comeback. The defense is allowing just about everyone to get 200 yards both rushing and receiving, and Kent State will be happy to do both.

Why Kent State Will Win

The Golden Flash offense has been phenomenal.

Okay, so it helps to play Bowling Green and Akron – after starting the season with Eastern Michigan – but this is Kent State. It’s a program that struggled to  do anything offensively not all that long ago, and now it leads the nation in scoring and total offense.

Kent State. In 2017, the team put up 153 points for the entire 12-game season.

The FlashFast style scores in bunches, the team is playing with the highest possible level of confidence, and the ground game is ripping through everything. Buffalo has an offense, too, but its defense isn’t getting into the backfield and it’s been just okay against the run.

However …

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Buffalo Will Win

Buffalo ain’t Akron or Bowling Green.

The run defense hasn’t been a rock, but it hasn’t needed to be with the way the offense is ripping through everyone at will. Kevin Marks is averaging over six yards per carry with 231 yards in the first three games, and he’s not even the star of the show. Jaret Patterson is coming off a 301-yard day against Bowling Green, he’s averaging over seven yards per carry and scored eight times.

The UB offensive line is dominating. It has yet to allow a sack, and it has given up just three tackles for loss.

The Kent State run defense was hit by Bowling Green for 260 yards, and allowed 212 last week against Akron. UB is going to keep hitting with the 1-2 punch, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Kent State 30, Buffalo 27. It was one of the wildest, craziest, best finishes of the 2019 season when Kent State stormed back and changed the entire program around with a shocking win over the Bulls.

The Golden Flashes went form a three-game losing streak and being knocked out of bowl contention to winning seven in a row with the program’s first bowl victory ever. They also knocked out Buffalo from a MAC championship appearance.

Buffalo will be well motivated, and it’ll win the battle of the running games in a fun firefight.
