Bowling Green at Buffalo College Football Picks: At the time Tuesday night's MAC showdown between Bowling Green and Buffalo was scheduled, the schools were pre season favorites in the Mid-America Conference's Eastern Division. As the college football season rolls into Week 10, this game between Buffalo and Bowling Green doesn't look so hot with each team sporting losing 3-5 overall records and stuck near the bottom of the MAC standings. So on a night when the - seldom seen MAC - gets to showcase itself, the viewing audience gets a real dog of a game.
 Regardless of how unattractive Tuesday's ESPN2 college football matchup really is; at least gamblers have a game to bet on. Otherwise there wouldn't be much reason to watch.
