MACtion college football picks favor the Bulls plus the spread against Miami (Ohio) tonight

Buffalo and Miami (Ohio), both 5-3 overall and 3-1 in the Mid-American Conference, meet in a midweek college football game. The article’s writer backs Buffalo to cover the six-point spread, arguing that a run-focused, lower-scoring contest could keep the Bulls competitive.

Buffalo’s running back Messiah Burch has 845 rushing yards and five touchdowns, while the Bulls have won four of their past five games. Miami (Ohio) has won three in a row, but its starting quarterback David McComb is injured; replacement Caleb Heavner has thrown for 579 yards across four games, compared with McComb’s 646 in his final two.
