Buffalo Looks to Win As An Underdog Again

Last week, the Buffalo Bulls pulled off one of the most surprising upsets of the week in college football. The Bulls beat the Northern Illinois Huskies in their MAC opener at Northern Illinois, despite the Huskies beating Notre Dame in their most recent game before that contest. That win brought Buffalo to 3-1 on the season, a record they will look to improve in one final non-conference game against the UConn Huskies. Outside of their loss to a top-10 Missouri Tigers team, the Bulls have been great defensively to start this season, allowing just 12 points per game to opponents outside of that one game against an SEC school.

UConn Hoping to Build On Impressive Win

The UConn Huskies have split their first four games this season, going 2-2 and winning the games they were expected to win while losing the games they were expected to lose. The Huskies lost to Maryland and Duke while beating FCS Merrimack and Florida Atlantic. But that win over FAU in their last outing was an encouraging one, as they blew out the Owls by a score of 48-14. UConn more than doubled FAU's offensive output in that game and had the ball for more than 40 minutes, results they would love nothing more than to replicate this weekend at home.

Buffalo vs UConn Best Bet

Both teams in this Buffalo vs UConn matchup looked very impressive last week. But we can only take one team to cover the spread in this game and that team will be the Buffalo Bulls. Look for Buffalo to build on their upset win over Northern Illinois by covering the number this weekend and potentially winning this game outright as they look to continue building momentum before diving back into conference play in the MAC.
