Game Analysis
BUFFALO (+2) 31 Northern Illinois 30
Buffalo starting QB Vantrease is out but backup Myers has experience and has been a bit better on a compensated yards per pass play basis so far this season – although I do downgrade the Bulls’ pass offense a bit. My math favors NIU by 1 point but Buffalo is historically much better at home than they are on the road.
