I just told my son we are favored by 14 on Saturday. His reply: "that's it?".

I thought the same thing...I almost posted it yesteday...
Don't take Buffalo lightly, They put it to Ohio for a long while
Tough game to call with that many points. Somebody is going to figure how to contain Lynch. How much longer will NIU own the 4th quarter?

Lynch is only going to improve. How about the OL...

I certainly would not feel comfortable betting NIU with a 14 line vs Buffalo. Buffalo is a solid solid team, its going to be closer than that. This game is a bit scary even from the W/L perspective.
We're at home. It's homecoming. Book it, Danno.

Vegas has these lines dialed in...I'm thrilled to be -14 vs -2.5...
This Buffalo team could be better than we think. Look at who they've played so far:
Georgia
Morgan State
Kent State
UConn
Ohio
That is a rough schedule. They lost by 7 to both UConn and Ohio. both on the road. They will not be a pushover by any means. They have an excellent running game and their O-line is huge. They had 332 rushing yards against Ohio. Khalil Mack is a monster on D and they have 18 sacks as a team. This could easily be a trap game for our boys if they start believing their press clippings.

As long as we keep rotating players, especially the lines, we'll be strong in the 4th. Ohio seems to be a 4th quarter team too. Hope we get to test them.

I agree NIU could lose this game, however, how does Buffalo feel about NIU, a 5-1 team playing average. This game could be what we are all looking for "A COMPLETE GAME". You don't think the players and coaches don't remember what happen last year.
No Trap...Final score 41-17 NIU
O by the way this is BU third road game in a row...can't help them

Agree, don't sell the Bulls short. Kent St controlled them pretty well, but Buff had some starters injured in that one. Buffalo could have an impact on west div. outcome....they play Toledo and WMU
Sidenote: glad we're not playing Kent St., that Dri Archer is a multi purpose threat.

Our defense has to start getting pressure on Qbs...

Part of the problem with that is teams like BSU and CMU will absolutely eat you alive if you become too aggressive getting to the QB with that short range passing game.
