Buffalo Bulls vs George Mason Patriots: Prediction
If other players can step up and contribute alongside Curtis Jones, the Bulls might have a decent chance of pulling off a victory. Jones is the only consistent player on the team so far. Others have come in bits and pieces and this is the reason why the Bulls are playing so badly this season.
This will be their first meeting in the league and the Patriots have the upper hand. They are hosting the game and are playing a little better compared to Buffalo this season. However, the Bulls have been a better team overall. Expect a close contest.
Final Prediction: Bulls (+195)
