Buffalo Bulls vs. UTEP Miners Odds

[Shame About Ray]

It wasn't long ago that the Buffalo Bulls were a college football betting whipping boy—an absolutely foolish selection for NCAA football wagering enthusiasts. In fact, the Bulls only joined the Mid-American Conference in 1999, and basically stumbled through seven years of football as they questioned why in the world they left success in Division I-AA for this.

Enter Turner Gill.

Unfortunately, Jim Hofher managed a staggering eight wins in five seasons, including three campaigns with just one victory. The laid-back approach that he brought to Western New York didn't exactly bode well for an upstart program. Gill, a former assistant with the Green Bay Packers, took the reigns and immediately breathed life into the troops—specifically the offense. After a difficult 2006 season, the former Nebraska Cornhuskers pivot led the Bulls to a 5-3 record in the MAC, and to a share of the East division title.

College football pundits and BetUS staff have high hopes for the upstart Bulls this season—including a possible shocker in Week 1!

All we can do is wait. I have a small wager going toward the Bulls for a few early games this year. Hopefully I'll make some money, but I'll just have to wait and see.
