Tonight's offerings are an escape from the big name schools, those that get the most media attention, much of it bluster and hype. Backing and betting on smaller schools can be fun as cheering for that hapless schmuck of a friend we all have.

We begin in the MAC, where the 8-4 Buffalo Bulls visit the 7-6 Bowling Green Falcons. The Bulls are fresh off a 73-55 home bashing of Miami-Ohio in which they shot 64% in the second half. The Bulls are far from a defensive team, allowing opponents 69.4 points per game. However, Bowling Green can't seem to find the net. The Falcons score a forgettable average of 56.4 points per game. Buffalo is 4-2 against the spread as visitors, and the favorite is 12-3 the last 15 meetings.

Buffalo Bulls -2.5

ESPN junkies should remember a little team from the Sun Belt Conference that Florida Gator fans would sooner forget -- the South Alabama Jaguars. On December 22nd, the visiting Jaguars beat the Gators 67-66. Tonight the 11-6 Jaguars visit the 6-11 Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks, a team they have beaten six straight times. Oddly, South Alabama has lost two straight home games, yet won their last four as the visiting squad.

South Alabama Jaguars -2
