PICK: I’m going to try Buffalo in this one. It’s admittedly a pretty thick line, though. The Bulls are just 1-3 in their last four games, but the good news is that they’re still scoring pretty well. Buffalo has hit 76 or more points in five of their last six games and should keep the offense up here also. As for Western Michigan, they’ve been at 67 points or fewer in each of their last seven games. If Buffalo gets going early I don’t think the Broncos will be able to keep the pace.
