Buffalo vs Akron Prediction 

Buffalo comes into this matchup on a two game winning streak and they are at the top of the MAC standings, but they have not played well in their last two games. The Bulls could have easily lost to EMU and UMass in those games, so they need to clean some things up. Akron has lost three of their last four contests and they have allowed at least 42 points in two of those three losses. I don’t think Buffalo is nearly as good as their record would suggest, but this Akron team is bad. Take the Bulls at home.
