Ended up 3-1 yesterday.  Today I like.......
 
Buffalo +7
 
Here's my opinion on today's game, take it or leave it.  (Sorry Bib, I know you tried to talk me out of it!)  Then I'm going to attempt to cap the NFL playoffs! 
 
I like the Bulls to at least cover.  They usually play up to their competition, and down against teams like Kent St.   I am just not seeing that much value in the UConn squad.  Only impressive win was at home against Cincy.  Endres played well for Uconn in his first start and their defense held Cincy's rushing to only 30 yards.  Pike was sidelined in the second half, and Cincy lost a 3 pt lead in the 4th quarter, giving giving up 20 unanswered points, one being an INT return for a TD.  On to like competition, UConn played a close game with Temple, as did Buffalo.  Then, Pitt, in which UConn was tied at halftime 3-3, but was just dominated in the second half, 31-7.  Buffalo, on the otherhand, was only down by one point going into the 4th quarter.  But just couldn't hang on in what was otherwise a pretty evenly matched game statistically.  On one more note, the only teams this year that UConn has beaten by more than a TD besides that Cincy debacle is Hofstra, Virginia and Syracuse.  Wouldn't go so far as to say they win today, but should be able to compete within a TD. 
 
GL everyone!
