Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:Over 50.5 total★★★

The over 50.5 is the play.

The number

The total is 50.5.

The decider

Buffalo are without Elijah Holmes at quarterback (out), and a quarterback change moves every number on this page. Buffalo's offense meets a Ball State defense that has been generous; the edge in that matchup belongs to Ball State. Buffalo score 23.9 a game and Ball State allow 34.8.

The context

Ball State have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference. Weather: Rain arriving around halftime.

Situational

Buffalo are missing MarkAnthony Scott Jr. (WR); Ball State are missing Mason Riggins (TE), Sean Ward (TE) — worth a notch of caution.

What breaks this

These two combine for 46.8 points a game, fewer than this 50.5 total. The forecast works against scoring.
