Buffalo 55%45% Rice

# Rice at Buffalo, District Showdown Buffalo hosts Rice in a dead-even matchup that our model gives to the home team by the slimmest of margins. With a 55% win probability for Buffalo, this is about as close to a coin flip as district football gets, so don't expect any clear-cut answers when these teams take the field. The question for fans: do you trust the model's slight lean toward Buffalo, or do you fade it and back Rice's chances to steal one on the road? Either way, this one's going down to the wire.
