Buffalo +4
Buffalo has lost 5 in a row and 7 of 8. Buffalo defeated Ohio last season 84-65 to snap a 4 game losing streak. Same sort of situation and Buffalo will come out with lots of energy. Buffalo will be inspired to play Ohio and may pull out the upset. Based on past results, Buffalo knows that this is one game that it can win to snap the losing streak. Ohio cannot put away anyone on the road. Ohio's biggest margin of victory on the road has been 6 points (defeated Maryland 61-55 and defeated Bucknell 53-47). I think fatigue may be a question mark for Ohio in this game as was the case in the last meeting between these two schools. Does anyone else see Buffalo winning this game?

Bradley +2
Bradley will win this game. Bradley has had an up and down season. Had a six game losing streak this season after starting the year 6-2. Only reason Illinois St is favored here is the year they are having. Bradley is very capable of beating Illinois st as they did in their last meeting (winning 70-62 at Ullinois St). Bradley plays much better at home and played ranked Michigan St tough before losing 66-61. Having a 9-10 record (2-5 conference), Bradley needs to finish strong and this game represents the turning point. Illinois St is coming off a tough defeat at Drake losing 79-73. I am not sure if Illinois St will come out with the same energy level that Bradley will come out with/
