Bet Miami (Ohio) on NCAAF Lines to Bury Buffalo
The Miami (Ohio) RedHawks have a clear understanding of what needs to happen in order to make it to the Mid-American Conference title game. As long as they win their two remaining games, they will clinch a spot in the title game. Simple. As simple as simple can be.
Luckily for Miami (8-2), on Wednesday they’ll be playing host to a limping Buffalo Bulls team that might not pose any real threat to its path to the conference title game. With our college football betting spread having the RedHawks as nine-point favorites, will the home team make easy work of Buffalo (3-7) and move one step closer to the MAC title game?
Is Buffalo a threat to Miami? No
Look, it doesn’t take a genius or an expert college football picks wizard to understand certain things that are as clear as daylight. Buffalo has been ordinary at best this season, with meager sounding like a more realistic term to describe the team, especially on offense.
If there was anything to truly salvage from this Bulls team, it would be the defense. Ranking 60th in the country in total defense, with the passing defense their biggest stronghold, it could be argued that this might be the only true threat Miami will face at home on Wednesday night.
Still, though, Miami’s defense ranks 12th in scoring and second in the MAC, allowing only 17.1 points per game and sitting at 23rd in total defense. It becomes easier and easier to see that Buffalo has little to no chance of running up the score or going for the NCAA football betting lines upset.
As long as Miami backup quarterback Aveon Smith is able to lead his offense with a smart and effective pass strategy while making sure the rush attack gets its fair share of reps, college football betting fans should expect an easy win from the RedHawks.

Miami Cover is too Good a Pick to Pass Up
With Miami looking to secure the MAC East title as soon as possible, I would expect the RedHawks to come out swinging from the get-go. When pitted against other top MAC conference teams this season, Buffalo has proven it doesn’t have what it takes to hang against the best squads.
Now, coming into this game as heavy underdogs, one of the best college football bets today is to go with the safe pick here and take Miami winning the game, all while covering and cementing its status as the best team in the MAC East.
College Football Pick: Miami (Ohio) -9 (-105)
Expect RedHawks Win and Low Total
There once was a time this season where Buffalo’s offense was a functional unit that knew how to run up a scoreboard. Sadly, those days are long gone and this Bulls offense has as much firepower as an old, beat-up toy gun.
One could only imagine that if Buffalo’s offense played at the same level of intensity as its defense, the Bulls would have had a better chance at holding their ground against Miami – and maybe, just maybe, come out of the game with a huge college football odds upset. Since that’s not happening, though, I would say to take the under and make your peace.
Why?
Miami understands it won’t need much to beat Buffalo. As long as the RedHawk stay on track with an effective offensive plan without overdoing anything, they should be good to go. Even with the low total of 39½ points, taking the under as your second NCAAF pick should give you the best results as the RedHawks cruise to the win.
College Football Pick: Under 39½ (-110)
