Buffalo has looked like the far better team since conference play began. The Bulls are 4-1 against MAC opponents with their only loss coming against the Ohio Bobcats, who might be the best team in the conference.
Central Michigan is 2-3 in conference play and its victories came against Akron and Northern Illinois, who are likely the two worst teams in the conference.
The Bulls don't stand out in any one area but they're more balanced on offense than CMU and have a bit more talent on the defensive side of the ball.
Buffalo's opportunistic defense is tied for second in the country with 2.4 takeaways per game and should be able to take advantage of a Chippewas team that is second-last in the country by averaging 2.5 giveaways. Add that to the fact that CMU is one of the most penalized schools in the nation and I'll fade the sloppier side at home.
