3* graded play on Buffalo AiS shows a 73% probability that Buffalo will lose this game by 3 or fewer points and has a 52% probability of winning the game. Buffalo is in a solid position for an ATS win noting they are 9-1 ATS (+7.9 Units) after 1 or more consecutive straight up wins over the last 3 seasons. Akron is not in a strong role to defend their home turf noting they are 0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) in home games after covering the spread in 4 or 5 out of their last 6 games since 1992. HC Gill is in a series of strong roles as well that reinforce the Ai S grading. Note that Gill is 9-1 ATS (+7.9 Units) after 1 or more consecutive straight up wins; 13-5 ATS (+7.5 Units) as a road underdog. This game has implications as it will break a first place tie in conference play. Buffalo has the edge though as they rank first in the MAC and 9th nationally with a +10 turnover margin. They take exceptional care of the ball on offense having just 9 turnovers ranking 5th nationally. Based on the published reports there is NO doubt that they are strongly focused for this game with a simple goal of consistency in execution on every play. Take Buffalo
