Saturday Football Temple Owls at Buffalo Bulls<\/h2>\n

Two teams without a history of winning but certainly on the upswing will collide on Saturday, as the Temple Owls (1-1 SU, 2-0 ATS) will travel to Western New York to face the Buffalo Bulls (1-1 SU, 2-0 ATS) in NCAA football betting action that is set to begin at Noon ET at UB Stadium (artificial turf) in Buffalo.<\/p>\n

\nBetUS NCAA Football Betting Odds: BUFFALO -6<\/p>\n

Here are some of the NCAA college football betting trends as they relate to this matchup:<\/strong><\/p>\n

* TEM has covered four of its last five games
\n* TEM has lost 19 of its last 25 games SU
\n* TEM has played eight of its last nine games UNDER the total
\n* TEM has covered five of its last seven road games
\n* TEM has lost 24 of its last 26 road games SU
\n* BUFF has covered five of its last six games
\n* BUFF has lost 18 of its last 25 games SU
\n* BUFF has won and covered four of its last five home games
\n* BUFF has played seven of its last ten home games OVER the total<\/p>\n

Both of these programs are on the rise, and it’s a nice thing to see. Buffalo is gathering talent and making smart recruiting moves under coach Turner Gill, and they have placed themselves in a position where last week’s loss to Pittsburgh was a minor setback on their way to a bowl. Buffalo is going have edges at the quarterback position with Drew Willy (62%, 5 TD, one INT) and running back with the dynamic James Starks (276 yards in two games).<\/p>\n

<\/a> But remember, Buffalo not necessarily used to the favorite’s role, while Temple is a team that is doing what it can to shed its old identity, as coach Al Golden brought back a boatload of players from last year’s squad. The Owls probably suffered a more disappointing loss, as they fell in double overtime to u-Conn. But that was a positive, encouraging sign. So is the fact that the Owls got off the road “schneid” (had lost 24 of previous 25) with the resounding win at West Point.<\/p>\n

While Adam DiMichele (11 for 28 against Connecticut) is not bulletproof in terms of keeping his job, he does have quite a few starts under his belt and provides a rushing element this team needs. But you have to respect Temple’s defense, which brought back nine starting players from a unit that was 21st against the pass last year, and has given up just one touchdown in eight quarters of regulation play. True, Temple does not want to get into a situation where it is trading points, but they can get enough stops to take this thing the whole 60 minutes.<\/p>\n

We’ll grab the points with Temple, the six-point underdog in the BetUS NCAA football betting odds.<\/p>\n
