Result: Win
#125 ASA PLAY ON 8* Buffalo +14 over Coastal Carolina, Saturday at 1:00 PM ET - Buffalo is undervalued here with an 0-2 record on the season. We also feel CC is overvalued coming in at 2-0. The Bulls lost @ Maryland to open the season and then last week lost on a hail mary as time expired vs Holy Cross. While that may seem like a terrible loss, it really wasn’t as Holy Cross is one of the top FCS programs and Buffalo was only favored by 6.5 in that game. The Bulls had more yardage in the 37-31 loss but nearly 100 yards of penalties hurt them. Coastal also played an FCS team last week but one that isn’t nearly as strong as Holy Cross. They Chanticleers beat Gardner Webb (ranked 88th in FCS power ratings) 31-27 as a 33 point favorite. However, they were outgained in that game by a whopping 140 yards and if not for a 95 yard kickoff they would have lost the game. Coastal was much better a year ago compared to this season ranking 117th in returning production. Even with that, they struggled to beat this Buffalo team in 2021 squeaking out a 28-25 win with the yardage nearly even. CC QB McCall is back but he doesn’t have much experience around him. They are shorthanded on offense with their top returning RB Bennett out and starting WR Brown possibly out. It’s going to be very tough for Coastal to pull away and get enough margin in this game to cover. We’ll call this one a close game and take the points
