Buffalo at Akron

img7:00 PM Eastern

The Buffalo Bulls had nine straight seasons winning 17 games or more which included five seasons where they won at least 20 games. Last year they went just 15-17 for their first losing record in a decade, and this season is already painful as they have started 2-13. While the losses are mounting up the record is worse than their results when playing as a huge dog. The Bulls are a perfect 3-0 on the season when getting double-digit points. Those games were vs. Richmond, Butler, and James Madison. Akron is 11-4 and remains a strong MAC team. The Zips appear to be getting a bit to much respect here, as this is the first game all season where they have been posted as an 11 or more point favorite. The Zips have had a lot of good teams, but they are just 10-20-1 ATS laying 12 or more points, including 0-6 ATS laying 15 or more. Make the play on Buffalo.
