The matchup
Buffalo has won three straight, knocking off the Bowling Green Falcons 31-24, the Massachusetts Minutemen 25-18, and the Toledo Rockets 23-8 in that stretch, with the only blemish in that recent run a 17-20 loss to the Western Michigan Broncos back in week five. The Bulls also beat the Robert Morris Colonials 31-28 earlier in the season.
Miami (OH) has matched that streak with wins over the Central Michigan Chippewas 28-27, the Akron Zips 34-14, and the Massachusetts Minutemen 20-19. Their lone recent setback came against the Bowling Green Falcons, 20-24, before that current run started, and they also beat the UConn Huskies 24-21 earlier in the year. Both teams have shown they can win close ones down the stretch.
Key matchups
This one comes down to which offense can keep finding points against a defense that's been stingy but not shutdown. Miami (OH) has scored 216 points this season against 206 allowed, a slightly positive margin that's helped fuel their streak. Buffalo's numbers run the other way, 181 scored to 203 allowed, meaning their three-game surge has come despite a negative scoring margin on the year. Whichever offense sustains drives in the fourth quarter figures to have the edge.
The pick
The betting market has Miami (OH) favored by 6.5 with a total of 44.5, and the market score projects a 26-19 RedHawks win. Miami (OH)'s positive scoring margin and home field at Yager Stadium back that number up. Buffalo has proven it can win on the road and has the streak to match, but the numbers favor the home side in a game expected to stay close into the fourth quarter.
