Fixing the run defense was a priority coming into the new season. Massachusetts brought in defensive linemen Etinosa Reuben (Clemson) and Jaylen Hudson (Wake Forest) and they held Eastern Michigan to 3.8 yards per carry and Toledo to 83 yards rushing, just 3.8 yards per carry. The offense, too, has looked better getting 329 and 384 yards in two contests. Massachusetts is 4-1 ATS in its last five road games. Buffalo comes off a 3-9 season and has split its first two games. They're in a tough stretch, off a 38-0 loss to No. 9 Missouri with a game on deck at No. 25 Northern Illinois. QB C.J. Ogbonna has 15 TDs and 11 picks in his college career and this season is completing just 45.5% of his passes. Buffalo is on a 7-12 ATS run, including 2-5 ATS at home. Play Massachusetts.

Buffalo at Massachusetts
1:00 PM Eastern
The football program at UMass has just never gotten off the ground. The Minutemen are 3-33 SU over their last 36 games. They have beaten Akron, UConn, and St. Bonaventure. Buffalo isn't the best team in the country, but the Bulls are considerably better than any opponent UMass has beaten in the last four years. This team has been so bad that the Minutemen have lost close to 53% of all their games by 17 or more points. UMass has covered just 43.3% of all games where the line was -17 or more points. Just can't get there on UMass. Make the play on Buffalo.
