Ball State Cardinals vs. Buffalo Bulls Preview <\/strong><\/p>\n

In a Mid American Conference match up on Saturday between a couple of teams that will not go bowling this post season the Buffalo Bulls (2-7) host the Ball State Cardinals (3-7). College football lines have Buffalo as 3-point favorites in this game with a total of 46.5.<\/p>\n

Buffalo played in the International Bowl a couple years back, but they have not played well for the last couple of seasons and this season they have lost 4 in a row and their offense is really struggling. In their 4-game losing streak they have scored over 10 points twice and have been out-scored 142-40. They are playing for pride and can get some if the beat Ball State on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Ball State stopped the bleeding halting their 4-game losing streak with a OT win over Akron in their last game and they look to win their 2nd<\/sup> away game of the season this Friday against Buffalo.<\/p>\n

In their last games Ball State beat Akron 37-30 in OT and Buffalo lost to Ohio 34-17.<\/p>\n

Heading into this MAC match up Ball State is 3-7 ATS and Buffalo is 2-7 ATS.<\/p>\n

For the Cardinals to win they will have to run the ball, as they have a legit rushing offense ranking 55th<\/sup> in the nation, but only rank 111th<\/sup> in passing yards per game. MiQuale Lewis has rushed for nearly 400 yards this season, but in his last 2 games he has only averaged around 3.3 yards per carry. However, he will be facing a Bulls\u2019 run D that ranks 63rd<\/sup> in the nation and gave up 185 rushing yard to Ohio last week. \"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

RB Eric Williams is the leading rusher for Ball State, but he only has 16 yards on the ground in the last 2 games. In the win over Akron the Cardinals actually aired it out and they gave freshman QB Keith Wenning a shot and he took it passing for 217 yards with 3 TD. However, he had 3 INT in the game and for the season he has more INT\u2019s than TD\u2019s (14-13). Buffalo has a legit pass defense ranking 29th<\/sup> in the nation and in their last loss to Ohio they gave up 201 yards in the air.<\/p>\n

Buffalo relies on their defense, as they do not rank in the top 80 in the nation in passing or rushing yards per game. They only rank 117th <\/sup>in the nation, out of 120 teams in points scored per game (15.1). However, their offense will have a chance to pad their stats against a Ball State defense that is weak against the pass and the run. Freshman QB Alex Zordich has started the last 4 games for Buffalo and in the Bulls loss to Ohio he passed for 84 yards and rushed for 59 yards. If the Buffalo D cannot stop Ball State from scoring he will have to step up and have a great game to win this home game.<\/p>\n

One of the main reasons these teams will not be going to the post-season is turnovers. Ball State ranks 119th<\/sup> in the nation with 28 turnovers lost and Buffalo is not much better ranking 117th<\/sup> with 26 turnovers lost. Since neither offense is a dynamic one turnovers are vital, as they team that can limit them has a great chance to win.<\/p>\n

This is a tough game in terms of betting when looking at the trends, as Ball State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and Buffalo is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games.<\/p>\n

Neither team has much to play for and neither team plays much defense so the Over may be a good pick in this game and the trends point to that. In Ball State\u2019s last 5 games the total has gone Over every time and they have an O\/U record of 7-2-1 on the season. On top of that Buffalo has an Over record of 5-1 in their last 6 games against teams with a losing record.<\/p>\n

Ball State can run the ball, but Buffalo has a better defense and have a young QB that wants to prove he is THE man for the job next season. Zordich will have a good game and the Bulls will snap their 4-game losing streak and win this game and cover the spread and give their fans some thing to cheer about since they can\u2019t do that for the Bills this season.<\/p>\n
