Camellia Bowl from Alabama. I was prepared to take the points on Buffalo if healthy, but running backs Ron Cook Jr. and Al-Jay Henderson - a combined 901 yards this year - did not play in the regular-season finale against Akron and are in doubt here. UB will be without at least 17 players overall and really thin in the secondary as safety Jahmin Muse and cornerbacks Isaiah King and Elijah Blades opted out to prepare for the NFL Draft; and safety/nickelback Keyshawn Cobb, entered the portal. This will certainly be personal for Georgia Southern QB Kyle Vantrease, who is among the nation's Top 20 in passing yards and TDs and led Georgia Southern to impressive wins over Nebraska and James Madison. He was at Buffalo from 2017-21. We got hosed on Bowling Green yesterday because the Falcons' starting QB was knocked out early injured. Let's not see that again, please.
The ATS attraction of a quarterback facing his former team is more of a professional football angle in the NFL. Yet, Tuesday it applies for quarterback Kyle Vantrease, who played for the Buffalo Bulls for five seasons. The quarterback has had a booming statistical season for Georgia Southern, throwing for 3,900 yards and 25 touchdowns. A big issue though is he is turnover-prone with fifteen interceptions. Expect two to three turnovers to be enough for the Bulls to close within this number. Take Buffalo.
Get ready for some fireworks, because this one should be wild. Eagles quarterback Kyle Vantrease is going to want to light up his former team, and coach Clay Helton will be happy to oblige in order to put his program back on the Sun Belt map. Buffalo quarterback Cole Snyder is an underappreciated dual-threat weapon, and is going up against an Eagles defense that has been torched all season long.
