College Football Odds: Bowling Green at Buffalo
by Al Simmons

Tuesday Night College Football features a couple of teams looking to improve their sub-par records as the Bowling Green Falcons visit the 3 point favorite Buffalo Bulls at 7:00 PM ET at UB Stadium.
College Football Betting Odds:
Bowling Green Falcons +3
Buffalo Bulls -3
O/U 54
Both squads have a 3-5 record so far this season and are no changes at a Bowl game. The Falcons arrive to this game after losing 24-10 against Central Michigan and the Bulls are coming of a crushing 34-31 loss in OT to Akron.
The Falcons own the 4th best passing attack in the entire nation. They average 359.1 yards per game.
QB Tyler Sheehan has thrown 2,678 yards with 15 TD and just 5 interceptions in 8 games so far. Expect Sheehan to look for WR Freddie Barnes (9 TD and 1054 yards) down the field. Barnes has at least one catch for 40 + yards in the last three games.
Bowling Green’s offense will face a defense that doesn’t force any turnovers (just 4 INT this season). They also allow 202.9 yards through the air per game.
On the other side the Bulls will try to establish the run in order to get the win. RB Ike Nduka will be their go to guy; in the last 3 games Nduka has found the end zone 5 times despite not scoring a single TD in the first 5 games of the year.
He is facing the second worst defense against the run in the Mid American conference. The Falcon D allows 5.8 yards per carry, 210.6 yards per game and 17 TDs combined on the ground so far this season.
Buffalo QB Zach Maynard is known for finding receivers is short routes. Maynard should keep it short in order to manage the game instead of trying to win it. He has 14 TD this season but has also thrown 11 interceptions.
College football betting tip: if you’re betting on the game total keep in mind it has gone UNDER in 6 of Bowling Green's last 9 games and.
My pick: Upset by the Falcons. Over.
