The current betting odds have Toledo listed as a 15.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Toledo has looked really good this season in all of their games. They are 7-1 overall and have looked even stronger against MAC opponents with their 4-0 conference record. They have also looked really good in their home games with their 4-0 home record and they look like the team to beat in the MAC this season. Buffalo has not looked great in their games this season. Buffalo may be 3-1 in their conference games but those are the only wins they have all year as they are 3-5 overall and they are going to struggle here on the road against the best team in the conference right now. Toledo also has this game circled on the schedule after losing in Buffalo last season so they will be ready to get their revenge at home and take advantage of a much worse Buffalo team. The best way to place a bet here is on Toledo to cover the spread in this game.

“If we’re protecting the right way, which our offensive line has done a phenomenal job of, it allows Cole to hang in there a little bit longer to now push the ball into those mid-range type passes of 12, 14, 18 yards. We’ve got to continue to develop that.” - Maurice Linguist after his team’s win against Kent State in their last game.

"We know we have some meaningful games coming up. We got a couple of days here to catch our breath before we totally turn the page toward Buffalo. A team that kicked our tail last year up there in Buffalo. We know what they're capable of and they're a team that really controls their own destiny on their side of the conference as well. It'll be a big football game here next Tuesday night and like I said, we'll use these couple of days to get healthy. We got to keep this thing rolling." - Jason Candle ahead of his team’s upcoming game against UB this week.
