College football matchups that don’t take place on Saturday are often a great way to build the bankroll before you are pouring over stats on takeaways and sacks between Ohio State, Alabama, PSU and whatever opponent on your deep betting slip…. Tuesday contests can get your full attention.

Buffalo vs Miami of Ohio Preview and Analysis


RECENT FORM

Buffalo is 4-5 on the season and a real close 3-5-1 ATS. They are 2-2 in road games and 2-3 at home.  They have logged 4 Overs and 5 Unders. Last Week they lost a shootout to Bowling Green 56-44.. That is practically a basketball score.  The week before Buff trounced the Akron Zips 45-10.  What we know about Buffalo is they are built to score points and gain total yards.  The only team that has held them below 17 points is the Nebraska Cornhuskers (held them to 3)… Although they usually score much more than that.

The Miami of Ohio Redhawks are 4-5 on the season and 3-6 ATS.  They get up for home games having gone 3-0 in Yager Stadium.  They are 1-5 away but this will be a home game. They dropped a game last week to the Ohio Bobcats 35-33. The week before they beat Ball State 24-17.  M-OH is another team built for offense… They really only took a beating against Cincinnati this season 49-14 in the opener.

Offensive Analysis

Buffalo is ranked 51st in the FBS having scored 37 touchdowns on 425.1 yards per game.
 
Miami-Ohio is ranked 62nd in the FBS on offense having scored 28 touchdowns on 405.2 ypg.

Defensive Analysis

Buffalo is ranked 92nd on defense in the FBS.  They give up 414 yards per game and a total of 35 touchdowns.

Miami-OH is ranked 50th in the FBS, allowing only 356.9 ypg and a total of 28 touchdowns. 


Buffalo vs Miami Ohio Prediction

Our prediction for Tuesday, November 9th, is… Bulls 32 - Redhawks 28

I have the upset in this one… and you get around a TD on the spread for cushion.  These are identical teams.  There is some case that Miami-OH is better at home and better on defense… and they are getting a lot of credit for scoring 2 TDs on Cincinnati while Buffalo was blown out by Nebraska.  Don’t buy the hype.  Buffalo can trade scores with Miami-Oh all day long and Miami will tighten up when they realize their perfect record at home is really the only thing a 4-5 team in the Mac can play for.
