Meanwhile, the Bulls couldn't handle the Zips on Saturday and fell 73-62. Buffalo has struggled against the Zips recently, as their match on Saturday was their seventh consecutive lost matchup.

While only Eastern Michigan took care of their fans the last time they played, both teams pleased bettors by covering the spread. As for their next game, Buffalo is expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a five-game streak of failing to cover when expected to win.

Eastern Michigan was able to grind out a solid win over the Bulls in their previous matchup back in January, winning 75-65. The rematch might be a little tougher for Eastern Michigan since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
