Eastern Michigan vs Buffalo Prediction and Odds: Eagles eye their 1st road win – NCAAF Week 13
Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports

The Buffalo Bulls (3-8, 3-4 MAC) take on the Eastern Michigan Eagles (5-6, 3-4 MAC) on Tuesday night in an all-MAC affair. Buffalo lost 23-10 to Miami (Ohio) last time out, their third loss in a row. The Bulls have had a rough season, and they’ll come back home tonight, where they’ve gone just 1-4. EMU is coming off of a 30-27 win over Akron, but they’ll be back on the road here, where they’re 0-5. The Bulls have won the last three head-to-head meetings since 2018, but they’re really struggling right now.

Will the Eagles finally break their road losing streak, or will the Bulls pull out their fourth conference victory?

Game Prediction

Both schools are in the midst of bad seasons, but EMU can clinch a bowl berth with a win. Both score right around 20 points, and these are two of the worst offensive teams in the nation. Only two teams average less yards than the Eagles, and the Bulls aren’t much better.

Neither side had high expectations entering the year, but this game has added incentive for the visitors. EMU is 0-5 on the road, and UB has had seven straight games gone under, three of which have been in Buffalo. Expect both teams to struggle to move the ball and take the under here.

Final Pick:

Under 37.5 (-112)
