Eastern Michigan vs. Buffalo Picks
Point Spread Pick for Eastern Michigan vs. Buffalo
- Buffalo Bulls -9.5 (4 Units)
The Bulls have lost three of their five games, while the Eagles have lost four of their five games. Buffalo has the edge here because they have a dominant ground game. They’re facing one of the worst teams in the nation when it comes to defending the run, giving up more than 290 yards per game on the ground, so expect them to control possession in this game by keeping the ball on the ground and pounding Eastern Michigan’s defense into submission.
Eastern Michigan won’t be as successful offensively because they don’t run the ball well and relies heavily on their passing game. The Bulls have a good run defense and will be able to slow the Eagles down on the ground, which will allow them to keep pressure on Kim and force him to make costly mistakes. Go with Buffalo to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Eastern Michigan vs. Buffalo
- Under 54.5 (4 Units)
The Bulls played under the total in five of their last seven games, while the Eagles played under the total in two of their last four games. Buffalo averages 24 points per game. They run the ball 52 percent of the time with the 56th-best ground game in the country. They are facing a team that is 134th against the run and is giving up 36.6 points per game.
