Kent State vs Buffalo Best Bet: Buffalo -21.5

Buffalo has looked the part this season, mainly due to the hiring of Pete Lembo as the head coach in the offseason. Lambo has turned the Bulls program around, and the team has been impressive throughout the season. Meanwhile, Kent State has struggled tremendously all season and risks going winless. Considering the different points in each program’s season, it feels safe to bet on Buffalo blowing out the Golden Flashes.

Kent State vs Buffalo Best Total Bet: Under 49.5

Entering this matchup, Kent State averages 15.1 points per game. Conversely, Buffalo averages 28.7 points per game with their high-powered offense. In what could be a lopsided win for the Bulls, scoring 50+ points may still be too tall of a task for even Buffalo to overcome. That said, a final score of 34-10 could be a realistic outcome of Tuesday’s battle.

Kent State Best Player Bet: Chrishon McCray Any Time Touchdown +150

Chrishon McCray has been one of the few bright spots for Kent State throughout a rough season. The wide receiver has grabbed 40 receptions for 705 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on the season. Over the last two games, McCray has grabbed a touchdown in each matchup. In a game where the Golden Flashes are likely trailing from the jump, Kent State will be forced to stick to the passing game, which could lead to a McCray touchdown before the end of the matchup.

Buffalo Best Player Bet: CJ Ogbonna 3+ Passing Touchdowns +230

CJ Ogbonna has emerged as an underrated passer this season with Buffalo. The senior has 16 passing touchdowns and four interceptions, and over the back half of the season, the Georgia native has found a rhythm. Passing for three touchdowns in each of his last two games, the quarterback could be in line for another monster night against a struggling Kent State defense.
