December 22nd at 7pm on ESPN.

Thoughts?

Saturday evening game. Two mid-majors that have had up and down years, but having a solid number of wins regardless. In many games this year, Buffalo looked like they could score at will, but it turned out that was against mediocre opponents. Buffalo is averaging 34 points an outing this year, while Troy's defense is giving up just 21. Buffalo's defense is giving up 24, while Troy's offense is scoring 29 each time out.

I'll go with Buffalo in this one, as they'll want to run through somebody after letting the MAC title slip away.
