The underdog is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Miami is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 games following an ATS loss.
Buffalo
The Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games. Buffalo is 6-0 ATS in its last six games versus the MAC.
Prediction:
Buffalo is ranked 17th nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency after its awesome showing against the Rockets and now stay at home to face a Miami squad that is brutally bad defensively, ranked 287th in the nation. The RedHawks are better offensively, but still just inside the top 100 nationally. I don’t see Miami sticking in this contest and I’ll gladly bet on the Bulls winning in blowout fashion again.
