Meanwhile, the Bobcats are 4-0 ATS in their last four overall and 4-0 ATS in the last four conference games. Ohio is 20-8 ATS versus a team with a winning record.
PICK: I’m probably going to stick with Buffalo. The Bulls managed a nice comeback versus a pretty good Rockets team in their last outing. Buffalo finished with 398 total yards, 19 first downs and 27:03 in time of possession. The Bulls defense came up with six turnovers as well. Buffalo has hit 24 or more points in each of their last seven games, and should score well here also.
As for Ohio, they had a little trouble getting past Northern Illinois in their last outing, but the Bobcats have posted 24 or more points in each of their last five outings. This one has the potential to be a high-scoring affair, and I think Buffalo takes the cover.
