Buffalo Bulls Betting Preview

The Bulls are looking good with a two game win streak under their belt heading into this matchup. Their latest win was a 51-48 overtime outing over the Ball State Cardinals. This should have been a bigger margin for victory, but they were able to convert late to get the job done.

C.J. Ogbonna was impressive offensively, as he delivered five touchdowns overall on 19 of 37 passes for 264 yards. Al-Jay Henderson was also great in their rushing attack, as he carried 27 times with 126 yards and two touchdowns.

Despite having three turnovers against the Cardinals, they were able to come up big when it mattered most. They will need to keep their mistakes down if they want to have a better chance at success battling the Eagles.

The Bulls are producing 26.9 points per game, while allowing their opponents to get 30.9. This is a slightly negative ratio, which could put them at a disadvantage against the Eagles. Any turnovers here will be amplified, especially if their offense struggles out the gate.

Eastern Michigan Eagles Betting Preview

The Eagles have lost their last three battles and must get back on track soon to stay above .500. Their latest defeat was a 35-10 outing against the Ohio Bobcats, which does not offer them great momentum coming into this one.

Cole Snyder had a subpar game, with 18 of 30 completions for 155 yards and a touchdown. However, he threw it away three times, which greatly impacted their chances of winning.

In total, the team had four costly turnovers. This is something they cannot afford to do if they want to win. This could also shine some light as to how inconsistent they have been.

The Eagles are essentially breaking even with their stats on both sides of the ball. Offensively, they have been averaging 27.3 points a game, but allowing opponents to stay within reach at 27.2. This shows no room for error, especially in close contests.
