Moneyline Pick: Buffalo (1150) - B+
Buffalo enters this matchup on a three-game losing streak, hoping to shake off the absence of their starting center, who remains sidelined, while Akron rides high with a commanding four-win surge and a fully healthy lineup at every position. Historically, Buffalo’s dynamic guard duo has found success against Akron, especially in last season’s high-scoring affair, and both teams—having surpassed the 41-game mark—are eyeing a favorable spot for postseason contention. Although Akron’s stellar road defense and consistent offensive bursts make them heavy favorites, the long odds for Buffalo pack substantial profit potential within a single upset.
Over/Under Pick: Over 161, (+110) - B+
![]()
Buffalo’s struggling offense is desperate for a breakthrough after enduring three straight defeats (team data compiled from recent games), but they’ll need every spark they can get with their starting guard questionable due to a lingering ankle concern. Meanwhile, Akron remains hot on a four-game winning surge, powered by their versatile point guard who has historically torched Buffalo in back-to-back outings. Another key factor lies in Akron’s undervalued forward, who typically excels against Buffalo’s smaller rotation (performance noted from past matchups). The expectation is that both squads will trade buckets all night, and if the Over hits, it could yield a solid payout for risk-takers. “This one’s set to ignite the scoreboard!”
Spread Pick: Buffalo, +19 (-110) - B+
![]()
Buffalo’s leading scorers remain active heading into this clash, though they carry the weight of consecutive losses that have undermined their confidence. Meanwhile, Akron’s impressive streak of conference wins has elevated expectations around their healthy roster, but Buffalo showed resilience in earlier matchups within the conference, frequently rewarding backers who took them with large spreads. Despite Buffalo’s current situation, this bet has decent payoff potential if an underdog cover materializes. Stampeding toward the finish, the Bulls could turn this spread on its head.
