4* Free Week 7 NCAA Betting Pick: Ohio -9.5
The Buffalo defense is coming off a game in which they gave up 48 points and 633 yards of total offense. Even with the Bulls struggling to slow down opponents, the Ohio Bobcats don’t have the offensive unit to take capitalize. Both teams prefer to establish the run vs airing it out.
This should lead to a game of field position and time of possession. Neither of which lends itself to a lot of points. On offense, Buffalo has the edge, scoring 6.0 more points per game than. Given that neither team plays at an extremely fast pace, I expect this total to fall below 56.5 points.
