(159) Massachusetts at (160) Buffalo: Spread

1:00pm EDT - Oct 17/2026

THE PLAY: Buffalo -5.5 (-108)

The Bulls pulled off a major upset at Toledo last week. They didn't just beat the Rockets, they dominated them. Toledo didn't score until there was less than five minutes remaining. The final score was 23-8. Consider that the Rockets had won nine straight at the Glass Bowl, outscoring opponents by an average of 48-13 in those nine wins. They entered the game with the top ranked offense in the MAC. Off that extremely impressive victory, I expect the Bulls to carry the positive momentum into Saturday's game against UMass. The Minutemen are off a tough 1-point loss vs Miami Ohio. The Bulls won last season's game by seven points (28-21) and the out-gained the Minutemen by a 494-306 margin, in terms of total yards. The two previous meetings saw Buffalo win by scores of 34-3 and 34-7. The should be able to win by at least a touchdown, once again. *good up to -7

(17) Buffalo Sabres at (18) Montreal Canadiens: Total

6:37pm EDT - Oct 13/2026

THE PLAY: Total Under 6.5 (-110)

This is the first meeting since these teams faced each other in the playoffs last season. You may recall that series "went the distance" with the Canadiens winning Game 7, in overtime, at Buffalo. The teams will meet again, also at Montreal, on Saturday. I feel that an O/U line of 6.5 is generously high. Including Game 7, which had a 3-2 score, six of the past nine meetings finished with six or fewer goals. Entering Monday's contest versus Florida, the Sabres have only scored one goal in their past two games combined. Each of their last three games (prior to Monday) has finished with five goals or less. The Habs are off a 1-0 win over Detroit. That game was scoreless after regulation. Go with the under.
