NASSAU, Bahamas – The final game of Bowl Season comes to an end with the Bahamas Bowl between the Buffalo Bulls and Liberty Flames where the Bulls are going in as just a field goal favorite over a shorthanded Liberty team.
Buffalo has the upper hand in this one on college football prop betting sites as all of their starters will be suiting up for their final game of the season while the Flames are dealing with one of the biggest opt outs of the season in their starting QB, Kaidon Salter.

- Spread: Buffalo -3

Buffalo Takes Advantage Of Shorthanded Liberty
Liberty’s offense is set to struggle mightily in this one without Salter under center. Salter was responsible for 22 of 43 offensive touchdowns for the team this season while passing for 1,800+ yards and rushing for 587 yards.
It has already been reports that Ryan Burger will get the nod at QB1 which will be his first career start. Burger has only attempted 24 passes in his collegiate career.
Those making a case for Quinton Cooley to take over on the ground for Liberty should think again as Buffalo’s run defense is fourth in the MAC and in the top half of the country at 164.7 rush yards allowed per game.
That said, the Bulls are sure to force the inexperienced QB to throw more than he’d like and run away with this one.
Get Plus Money On Buffalo To Cover
The best bet here would be to take a dip into the alternate lines on college football sportsbooks where bettors will find +125 odds for Buffalo to cover a -5-point spread rather than -3 points.
Six of Buffalo’s eight wins this season have all come by 10+ points and with a fully intact roster going into the Bahamas Bowl, it is hard seeing Liberty being able to keep up with a team that averages nearly 30 ppg this season.
