11 is too much. I would have guessed 7.5.

That seems a bit high.

Reasonable that Buffalo would be favored, but that seems like a lot for a team that hasn't exactly been a juggernaut this year and certainly hasn't dominated the series in recent years.

BG +8 as of this morning. 3 of UB's last 4 games have been decided by 3 points or fewer, I'd take BG.

Unless something has changed for UB like it had for Kent (losing their best QB, for example), I don't think it's too high. BG has been a very bad team for most of this season. Now granted, since Doege has come back, and with the staff finally realizing that Claire is, by far, their best running back, at least the offense has become more explosive. But the issues on defense are likely the same, regardless of the Kent game.

Once again, the precision with which Vegas sets these lines is...well actually...a bit frightening sometimes.
