College Basketball Betting Trends
Buffalo
The Bulls are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Friday games. The road team is 0-5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
Miami
The RedHawks are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five home games. Miami is 8-2-1 ATS in its last 11 MAC games.
Prediction:
Buffalo has been at home its last three games and dominated, while its last two on the road were both six-point wins against better opponents in Akron and Toledo. The Bulls dominated Miami to the tune of 88-64 at home back in January, so I think the talent and depth of Buffalo will shine once again tonight to cover this spread.
