This line between the Buffalo Bulls and the Kent State Golden Flashes seems to be based more on reputation than reality, as we expect the Bulls to show that they are the class of the MAC this season with a nice road win here.

The Bulls are now 18-9 straight up this season, and after hitting a bit of a lull, they snapped out of it last game by winning outright at Ohio on Sunday. Buffalo has not minded traveling one bit this season, as they are currently 10-5 straight up and 8-6 against the spread away from home.

This record includes a nice 5-2 conference road mark, where they have beaten their road MAC opponents by an average of +3.1 points. Not that surprisingly, the Bulls are 3-0-1 ATS in this road underdog role inside the conference, with all three covers being outright upsets.

Now the Flashes are traditionally conference kingpins, but Kent is just 16-13 SU overall this season including 8-6 in MAC play. They have burned a lot of money while going 9-16 ATS on the year, and they lost to these Bulls by 11 points in Buffalo in January. Also, while they are 11-3 SU at home, they are still only 5-6 ATS n their lined home games.

Finally, Buffalo still needs to win this game as they are currently tied with Bowling Green at 10-4 in the MAC East Division, so look for them to get that needed victory in an upset.
