Buffalo vs Akron Odds, Prediction & Picks 11/2/2024

The Buffalo Bulls are set to take on the Akron Zips on November 2, 2024, with the Bulls as one-point favorites according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Currently, there is an equal split in spread bets between the two teams. The total for this game has been set at 48 points. With the game approaching, it's shaping up to be a closely contested matchup between these two teams. Here, we break down Buffalo vs Akron and make our pick for this MAC matchup.

Buffalo Facing Pivotal Conference Road Game

So far this season, the Buffalo Bulls are 4-4 overall and 2-2 in the MAC. They have lost two games in a row coming into this contest, dropping conference games against Western Michigan and Ohio. This week, the Bulls are in desperate need of a win, as a win would move them to within a game of bowl eligibility with three games to play. On top of that, losing a third straight game and doing so against an Akron team that is one of the worst in college football, would be devastating to this team down the stretch.

Can Akron Build On MAC Breakthrough?

Akron finally got a win in the MAC last week, improving to 1-3 in conference play with a win at home over Eastern Michigan. The Zips are now 2-6 overall this season and will look to build on their first conference win with a second straight victory over Buffalo. For that to happen, the defense of the Zips will need to play more like they did last week than they have for most of the season, as they pitched a first half shutout against Eastern Michigan that propelled them to victory.

Buffalo vs Akron Best Bet

Akron deserves credit for finally breaking through and getting a win in conference play against Eastern Michigan last week. But we aren't banking on them getting a second win in a row in this Buffalo vs Akron matchup. Instead, we will go with the Buffalo Bulls to come away with a win and we will take the loss if Akron finds a way to step up at home for the second straight week.
