Buffalo Bulls (1-1) vs Massachusetts Minutemen (0-2)

UMass was the better team in its game vs. Toledo in Week 2. The Minutemen made a few mistakes including a key interception and allowing a 98-yard kick return for a TD, but at the end of the day UMass had a major 384-258 total yard advantage and a 23-12 first down advantage. UMass was only a measly 5-19 on third down which also plagued the Minutemen at times, but it was clear that the offense (particularly the passing game) was finding its stride after a few bad drives to start the game. Buffalo is the weakest team by far that UMass has faced and I think the wrong team is favored here. I am not a believer in this Buffalo offense and CJ Ogbonna was only 6/20 passing last week. I am surprised to see just how improved this UMass defense is, and Buffalo doesn't have the quickness that EMU or Toledo had to find consistent big plays in desperate times. Give UMass and the points and I will be betting the ML and alternate spread as well.
