Just finished the work on Kent St. vs. Buffalo and anxious to release this game now!
Buffalo has the best offensive player on the field in RB Brandon Oliver(1444 yards rushing in '11). Buffalo has the best defensive player on the field in LB Khalil Mack. They also have that magical number of 4 starting offensive line starters back. An extra bonus in this pick is I have the Bulls rated decently higher than their MAC opponents under my rating system.
Look, Kent St. has a decent amount of starters back too, and usually plays pretty good defense, but, RB Oliver of Buffalo gained 111 yards vs. Georgia. I believe he'll do better against his MAC opponent.
As most of you have who followed me through the years knows, I very rarely work the MAC Conference when they play their BCS-level opponents. The talent level just doesn't match up when they step up in class. I absolutely enjoy working the MAC Conference games when the teams are playing each other because the athletes each team recruits are about the same.
In my first MAC Conference pick of 2012, I'm taking Buffalo. If the spread is -3.5, I would buy the 1/2 point.
