Central Michigan Chippewas Look to Take Advantage of Buffalo Bulls' Struggling Defense on Saturday

Central Michigan Chippewas Football will look to capitalize on Saturday when they face Buffalo Bulls in one of the weakest defenses in college football this season. Buffalo's defense is allowing an average of 37.6 points per game and 215.0 yards per game against the run, while Central Michigan's offense, powered by its running game at 161.6 yards per game, may be able to tire them out. Recent trends have been unfavorable for Buffalo at home, having not covered the spread in eight of their last 10 games, and in four of their last five against a Mid-American conference opponent. Central Michigan will look to use their running attack, with Myles Bailey at 305 yards, to wear down the defense to open up passing lanes for quarterback Jase Bauer, who has already thrown for 599 yards.
