Buffalo Form & Recent Results
Buffalo enters this contest on the heels of a two-game losing streak, having lost three of their first five games to open the season, a disappointing start for the Bulls. In their most recent matchup, Buffalo suffered a narrow 20-17 defeat against UConn. During that game, quarterback Gunnar Gray completed 17 out of 29 pass attempts and threw for a touchdown, but it wasn’t enough to secure a victory. This season, quarterback Ta’Quan Roberson has been under center for most of the snaps, amassing 662 passing yards so far. Running back Al-Jay Henderson has shouldered much of the ground game, racking up 337 rushing yards, while Victor Snow leads Buffalo’s receivers with 274 yards. Nik McMillan has also been a key target, contributing 163 receiving yards. Defensively, the Bulls have actually performed reasonably well, giving up an average of only 19.6 points per game through the first five games. However, the offense has struggled to find consistency, which has been the primary culprit in their recent losses. Last season, Buffalo averaged 28.8 points per game on offense, so they’ll be aiming to get back on track as they prepare to host Eastern Michigan at home. The Bulls hope to turn things around and rediscover their offensive rhythm in front of their fans.
Eastern Michigan Form & Recent Results
Eastern Michigan comes into this matchup struggling, having lost four of their first five games this season, including their most recent game—a 24-13 defeat against Central Michigan. In that game, quarterback Noah Kim completed 17 of his 28 pass attempts but also threw an interception. So far this year, Kim has accumulated 1,168 passing yards, serving as a key figure for the Eagles' offense. On the ground, running back Dontae McMillan has provided some stability, rushing for a total of 416 yards. The passing attack has been led by wide receiver Terry Lockett Jr., who tops the team with 263 receiving yards, while tight end Joshua Long has contributed 186 receiving yards. However, Eastern Michigan's defense has been a significant weakness, surrendering an average of 36.6 points per game across their first five games, a number they will need to improve if they hope to turn their season around and balance their record on the road. For comparison, the Eagles averaged just 18.6 points per game on offense last season, highlighting the challenges they've faced on both sides of the ball.

Buffalo vs Eastern Michigan Picks and Prediction
Although both teams have faced challenges on defense this season, Eastern Michigan’s unit has been particularly poor, failing to find its footing from the very beginning. In contrast, Buffalo will aim to extend its perfect record in conference play and capitalize on its home-field advantage by securing a decisive win in front of its fans. Final Score Prediction, Buffalo Bulls win but fail to cover the spread, 29-24.
