Summary
Buffalo enters Tuesday night's MAC matchup as a recommended +6 play, with the preview arguing a lower-scoring game gives the Bulls a strong chance to cover or win outright.
5-3 Buffalo leans heavily on its ground game, led by Messiah Burch's 845 rushing yards and five touchdowns, while the offense has not topped 200 passing yards in a game this season.
That run-first identity has helped fuel a 4-1 stretch over Buffalo's last five games, with wins over Robert Morris, Toledo, Massachusetts and Bowling Green.
Miami (Ohio), also 5-3 and 3-1 in the MAC, has shifted after quarterback David McComb's injury; replacement Caleb Heavner has thrown for 579 yards in four games after McComb posted 646 in his final two.
The RedHawks have still won three straight against Massachusetts, Akron and Central Michigan, setting up a matchup between two similarly built MAC contenders.
