BUFAfter a brutal three-game gauntlet to open the year, Buffalo gets a breather at home against an FCS team trying to find its footing.
Bush’s Picks
BUFBUFBuffaloBuffalo is an FBS program hosting an FCS team that just finished 3-9, so this isn't really a debate — it's a question of margin, not outcome. The value here, if there is any, is in how big a number the market lands on rather than which side to back.
Robert MorrisBuffaloThis one's a scheduling formality more than a rivalry. Robert Morris comes to Buffalo as the Bulls' third and final tune-up before Mid-American Conference play kicks in, and the gap between the programs is about as wide as it gets in college football.
Buffalo enters Saturday's game having opened the season against Albany, then hit the road twice — first to FIU, then to Penn State, a Big Ten trip that's about as tough a measuring stick as a MAC team can schedule. Head coach Pete Lembo has been sorting through a three-way quarterback competition all offseason between Jason Wright, Mason Cumbie and Elijah Holmes, and how that battle has shaken out by late September will shape how comfortably the Bulls handle an overmatched opponent.
Robert Morris, meanwhile, is walking into its second straight FBS road trip of the year after visiting Akron the week before. The Colonials were picked to finish third in the NEC preseason and instead limped to a 3-9 finish in 2025, so this stretch of the schedule was never about the scoreboard — it's about survival and reps against faster, bigger competition.
