#918 ASA PLAY ON 8* Buffalo -2.5 vs. Miami OH, Saturday at 3:30 PM ET - Buffalo was a dark-horse team of ours to win the MAC this season while Miami was one of the favorites. Both returned a ton of talent which was a big reason why both had Conference Title aspirations. Miami is without their starting QB Gabbert who was injured in the season opener against Kentucky. Aveon Smith has taken over as the starter and has not impressed anyone with his numbers. Smith is 32 of 66 for a total of 346 yards or 5.0-Yards Per Completion. He has just 6 TDs to 2 INT’s. This makes the Redhawks one-dimensional offensively. The onus will be on Buffalo’s defense to stop the running game of Miami. The Bulls haven’t been great in that defensive category allowing 169-Rushing Yards Per game which is 87th in the nation. In the Bulls defense, they’ve played three teams this season that all rank top 53 in rushing yards per game offensively. Miami (OH) is 89th in rushing offense at 131YPG. Buffalo’s passing attack which averages 260-Passing Yards Per game can exploit a Redhawk defense which ranks 106th in the nation allowing 270PYPG. Miami is coming off a big upset win over a Big Ten team in Northwestern, despite getting outgained by -86-yards. Last year Miami embarrassed Buffalo 45-18 and we expect payback here. The home team has covered 5 straight in the series and the favorite is 11-2-1 ATS the last fourteen meetings. Lay it!
