Louisiana vs. Buffalo Prediction: Spread

Buffalo was the underdog by 3 in their last matchup with LOULAF, which resulted in both a loss and a failed ATS cover. Their overall ATS record this season stands at 0-2. Looking at Buffalo’s three most recent road games, they have put together a record vs. the spread of 1-2.

In their recent matchup, Louisiana was the underdog, but they managed to pull out the win, pushing their ATS record to 1-1 for the season. At home, Louisiana has gone 1-2 against the spread (last three).

For a point-spread pick, I like Louisiana with a -8.5 spread for this one. Following a strong defensive performance, I expect them to deliver another good outing. I believe Louisiana will not only secure the win but also cover the spread against Buffalo.
