            One year removed from its first bowl game ever, Buffalo has returned back to the pack in 2009. After dropping a disappointing 34-31 overtime decision at Western Michigan 10 days ago, Turner Gill’s troops will likely need to run the table if they wish to go bowling for the second-straight season.

            The MAC has bowl tie-ins with the Little Caesars Pizza, International and GMAC bowls and the divisional winners are guaranteed bowl berths.

            A victory tonight would be a start, but, even with winless Miami up in two weeks, the Bulls have never won a game (0-5) in Oxford, Ohio.

            The Bulls will need a better defensive effort against the Falcons than they produced against the Broncos. Western Michigan finished with 505 yards of total offense against Buffalo, its second-best production of the season.

            The strength of the Bulls' offense is the passing game. The only time QB Zach Maynard has passed for fewer than 210 yards was in his first start at Texas-El Paso. WR Naaman Roosevelt, the best receiver in school history, along with fellow wideout Brett Hamlin and tight end Jesse Rack, are all enjoying career seasons.

            RB Ike Nduka has emerged as a running threat. The Bulls lost standout running back James Starks before the start of the season, but In Buffalo's most recent game against Western Michigan, Nduka carried 18 times for 172 yards and a touchdown. He has rushed for over 100 yards in three of Buffalo's last four games.

            Buffalo’s Achilles’ heel has been the turnover bug. Seventeen turnovers lost and only six gained ties the Bulls for 103rd nationally in this critical category. Only eight of the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams own worse numbers.

            The Bulls are 3-0 this season in games in which they held opponents to 17 or less points. They are 0-5 when surrendering 20 or more points.

            "We wanted to win a championship, we wanted to go to a bowl game, but it's not in our hands anymore,” said Buffalo linebacker Justin Winters.

            Falcon findings

            Bowling Green coach Dave Clawson is a Western New York native and a former assistant at Buffalo. This game will be a homecoming of sorts for Clawson.

            Falcon QB Tyler Sheehan has completed 65 percent of his passes for 2677 yards with 15 touchdowns and only five interceptions.

            WR Freddie Barnes had 14 receptions for 172 yards and a TD against Central Michigan on Oct. 24. He leads the nation in receptions (99), yards (1054), touchdowns (nine), yards per game (131.8) and receptions per game (12.4). He has 37 more receptions and 173 more yards than the second place player in each category. It’s no surprise that Barnes is prime contender on this year’s list of candidates for the Fred Biletnikoff award.

            Stopping the run remains the biggest concern for Bowling Green. The Falcons are allowing 201.7 yards per game on the ground on an average of 5.7 yards per rush.

            Through Bowling Green's first eight games this season the Falcons have allowed an opposing player to rush for at least 100 yards six times. Bowling Green is 1-5 in those games.

            Keeping it close

            "I would rather lose a close game than a blowout. That means we're not that far away. We've played some good football against some good football teams. We just have not made those critical plays to get us over the top. You continue to go back and teach, fix the problems you have. You try to get those things corrected and it you do that you'll start winning football games,” contends Falcons head coach Clawson.

            Bad blood

            Wind the clock back to last season. Down 14 points entering the fourth quarter, Buffalo rallied in double overtime to beat Bowling Green and go on to capture the MAC East title, play in the conference championship game and in the International Bowl as a result. The loss denied the Falcons a seven-win season and possible bowl berth.

            Buffalo is 2-4 SU and 4-2 ATS in this series. The underdog is 5-1 ATS.

                    What bettors need to know: Hokies at Pirates
                    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    Virginia Tech Hokies at East Carolina Pirates (+13, 51.5)

                    Line movement


                    The line has moved anywhere from a half point to two full points depending on the book. Early shoppers could have gotten Virginia Tech as -11.5 at a few shops but that number lasted only a few hours.

                    Weather

                    It will be a cool night with the temperatures lingering in the high 40s but no chance of rain with light winds from the northwest.

                    Letdown or revenge?

                    Three weeks ago, Virginia Tech was No. 4 in the nation and was a contender BCS Championship Game. But two straight losses have quelled that talk and now the Hokies are just trying to stop the bleeding.

                    Going out of conference in the middle of the season after suffering back-to-back conference losses is a recipe for disaster, but Virginia Tech might not be a bad play here. The Hokies want to get some payback after suffering a loss to the Pirates in Charlotte last season.

                    Under head coach Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech is 14-2 ATS when coming off a loss and playing against an opponent it lost to in the previous matchup.

                    BCS vs. the other guys

                    This is the first time the Hokies have played a true road game against a non-BCS opponent since 2002 when they, then in the Big East, played at Western Michigan. That’s a span of 33 straight road games against BCS opponents.

                    East Carolina stands seventh nationally among all non-BCS programs with six victories against automatic-qualifying BCS members since 2003. The Pirates have already lost the two games against BCS opponents this season, West Virginia and North Carolina, but both of those games came on the road.

                    The Pirates have won three of their last four games against ranked opponents. Three of their last four home games against ACC members, so playing and winning against BCS teams is certainly no problem for East Carolina.

                    Third time’s a charm

                    East Carolina has limited its last three opponents to a combined 13-for-39 conversion success rate on third down. In third-down conversion attempts of more than two yards, the Pirates have held all eight of their opponents to a combined success rate of 28.1 percent (25-89).

                    This could be an issue for the Hokies who are 65th in the nation in third down conversions, going 41-105 on the season (39.1 percent). During the last two losses, Virginia Tech is just 8-23 on third down conversions (34.8 percent).

                    Bottom line

                    The Pirates have been good in these spots holing a 4-0 ATS mark in their last four home games as an underdog of 10.5 or more points. They are also 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games as a home underdog overall.

                    Virginia Tech is 7-0 to the under when playing on a Thursday over the last three years, averaging just 32.8 points per game in those contests. The under is also 6-0 under the Beamer-led Hokies when coming off a loss by three points or fewer.

                      Virginia Tech at East Carolina [ESPN | 7:45 PM ET]

                      Virginia Tech (-13, O/U 51): Virginia Tech will be trying to avoid its first three game losing streak since 2003. The Hokies have lost ACC games to Georgia Tech 28-23 and North Carolina 20-17 last Thursday. Virginia Tech is 0-3 against the spread on the road this season, allowing an average of 417.3 total yards in their away contests. The Hokies are 2-5 against the number in their past seven road matchups. They’ve also failed to cover 10 of the last 13 times versus non-league opponents. Virginia Tech had defeated East Carolina six consecutive times until last season when the Pirates upset the Hokies, 27-22, in Charlotte, N.C. East Carolina returned a blocked punt 27 yards for a touchdown with 1:52 to stun the then 17th-ranked Hokies. Virginia Tech is 7-1 against the number in revenge spots under Frank Beamer. The Hokies are averaging 30.6 points, their highest scoring average in four years.

                      Virginia Tech is 15-5 ATS on Thursday.
                      The Under is 11-0 in Virginia Tech’s last 11 Thursday games.

                      Key Injuries - Defensive tackle John Graves (ankle) is questionable.
                      Guard Sergio Render (pectoral) is questionable.

                      PROJECTED SCORE: 32

                      East Carolina: This is the Pirates’ biggest home game of the season and they come in hot, winning four of their last five games. East Carolina has held four of its last five foes to under 100 yards rushing. Running back Dominique Lindsay has rushed for 570 yards, averaging 5.8 yards per run. Dwayne Harris leads the Pirates in receptions with 47 for 521 yards and three scores. Pirates quarterback Patrick Pinkney has thrown nine interceptions and eight touchdowns. He ranks 98th in the country in passing efficiency. East Carolina had won three in a row versus ranked opponents until losing at then-No. 24 North Carolina on Sept. 19. Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor has been sacked nine times in his last three games. The Pirates’ defense has come on forcing nine fumbles in their last three games, allowing an average of 20 points and 344 total yards during this span.

                      East Carolina is 8-1 ATS the past nine times it has been an underdog of 10 ½ or more points.
                      The Pirates have covered 7 of their last 10 home contests.

                      Key Injuries - Wide receiver Jamar Bryant (shoulder) is questionable.
                      Defensive lineman C.J. Wilson (leg) is questionable.

                      PROJECTED SCORE: 19 (Side of the Day)


                      NOTE: The “Total of the Day” is in the NBA

                        College football Top 25 cheat sheet: Week 10
                        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        Vanderbilt at No. 1 Florida (-35, 44.5)

                        The Commodores lost dual threat QB Larry Smith for the season with an injury suffered in last week’s loss to Georgia Tech, so in steps senior Mackenzi Adams for his 10th career start – Vandy is 2-7 in the previous nine.

                        Star LB Brandon Spikes was suspended for just a half in this one by Urban Meyer for Spikes’ eye gouge against Georgia, but Spikes then suspended himself for the entire game Wednesday night. Not like UF needs him: It has won 18 in a row in this series.

                        Central Florida at No. 2 Texas (-36.5, 46.5)

                        The Golden Knights did only lose by three points to the Horns two seasons ago in Orlando. They can’t afford to fall behind big here, and UCF has led at the half only once this year.

                        It’s a very rare non-conference November game for UT (originally was supposed to be Texas Tech), which might be due a letdown after three straight conference opponents. Hard to see UCF scoring much since Texas has held each Big 12 opponent to 14 or fewer points.

                        No. 7 LSU at No. 3 Alabama (-7.5, 40)

                        The Tigers have won four straight games over Alabama in Tuscaloosa. And their defense is playing well, having allowed only 36 points in its last four games.

                        The Tide clinch a spot in the SEC title game with a win and enter off a bye week. They have led at the half of the past seven games and are 25-1 when leading at halftime under Nick Saban.

                        No. 4 TCU at San Diego State (+24.5, 48)

                        TCU could get caught looking ahead to Utah next week. But the Frogs are 4-0 against SDSU all-time and have outscored their opponents 123-13 in the past three games.

                        SDSU nearly beat TCU in the Frogs’ last two visits and the Aztecs have just one loss at home (by 10 to BYU). Unfortunately, star WR Vincent Brown, a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award is out this week and likely the season.

                        No. 5 Boise State at Louisiana Tech (+21.5, 50; Friday)

                        Boise State loves national TV, having lost just once in the past two seasons (3-0 this season, 2-1 ATS). BSU has won seven in a row in this series, scoring at least 30 in all of them with an average margin of victory by about 26 points.

                        The Bulldogs have won 10 of their past 11 at home. But probably their two best offensive players, running back Daniel Porter and wide receiver Phillip Livas, are both game-time decisions with injuries.

                        Northwestern at No. 6 Iowa (-16.5, 44.5)

                        Northwestern has won the last two games in Kinnick Stadium and three of the last six. That includes a 22-17 win last season. But the Wildcats have dropped their past 35 against Top 5 teams (which Iowa is in the BCS).

                        The Hawkeyes seem to have their close calls at home and have covered only one of the past three games there. That one was last week against Indiana when Iowa was down 10 points entering the fourth before rallying big.

                        Connecticut at No. 7 Cincinnati (-16.5, 52)

                        The Huskies' four losses are by a combined 13 points, but they also lost starting QB Cody Endres for the season when he was hurt in last week’s loss to Rutgers.

                        The Bearcats lead the series 4-1 all-time but were pummeled 40-16 at UConn last year. Cincy, which may get QB Tony Pike back, has turned the ball over just four times, fewest in the nation. It is the only team in the country yet to lose a fumble.

                        No. 8 Oregon at Stanford (+6.5, 56)

                        Is Oregon due a letdown after a program-altering win against Southern Cal? Sometimes all that good publicity isn’t good for a team. The Ducks do have a seven-game winning streak against the Cardinal, their longest current streak against a Pac-10 opponent.

                        Stanford enters off a bye and played its best game of the season before the week off, a 33-14 home win over Arizona State. In fact, the Cardinal really haven’t been challenged at home this year.

                        No. 12 Ohio State at No. 10 Penn State (-3.5, 40)

                        Jim Tressel is 5-3 against Penn State but his Buckeyes lost 13-6 last year in Columbus. So while the home team has won 12 of 16 in this series since PSU joined the Big Ten, the visitor has won the past two.

                        PSU’s Daryll Clark looks like a Heisman candidate of late – during the Nittany Lions’ five-game winning streak, Clark has nine touchdown passes and has run for five scores with just one interception.

                        Wake Forest at No. 11 Georgia Tech (-16, 61.5)

                        The Deacons have lost their past three overall and are 0-3 on the road this year. And senior QB Riley Skinner, easily the team’s best player, is questionable for this one with a concussion. Skinner hasn’t missed a start since early in the 2007 season.

                        The Jackets have won six in a row and have covered in all of them. Over the last five games, Tech has averaged 487.0 yards of total offense (337.8 yards rushing) and 41.8 points.

                        No. 13 Southern Cal at Arizona State (+10, 45.5)

                        USC has won nine in a row in this series and is 27-0 in November under Pete Carroll. But how is the team’s psyche after suffering the worst loss in the Carroll era last week to Oregon?

                        ASU gets to see probably the worst defense it has seen USC have under Carroll, as that unit has surrendered an average of nearly 490 total yards and 37 points in each of the past three games. ASU is 3-27 this decade against ranked teams.

                        Syracuse at No. 14 Pittsburgh (-21.5, 49.5)

                        The best thing the Orange had going for them was star WR Mike Williams, but he quit the team Monday. He had 49 catches for 746 yards and six touchdowns. Syracuse is -7 in turnover margin in only three Big East games.

                        The Panthers have won six of the past seven meetings, including 34-24 at the Carrier Dome last year. RB Dion Lewis is fourth in the nation in rushing, but SU’s strength is run defense – sixth in the country.

                        No. 15 Houston at Tulsa (-1, 67.5)

                        Houston leads the series 3-1 since the two schools have been C-USA members. The past two years have been blowouts for the home team, including 70-30 Cougars in 2008.

                        The Golden Hurricane are 0-2 vs. ranked teams this year but nearly upset Boise State. In Tulsa's four wins this year, the Hurricane have scored 41.0 points per game and averaged 450.5 yards of total offense.

                        New Mexico at No. 16 Utah (-27, 46)

                        The Lobos could be the worst program in the country, having lost 12 straight games. The program is 2-19 all-time in road games against ranked teams. But UNM nearly upset the Utes last year and has won two of its past three trips to Utah.

                        It appears the Utes will turn to freshman Jordan Wynn as the starting QB after he rallied Utah past Wyoming last week. He replaced a struggling Terrance Cain during last week’s game. The official decision will likely be a game-time call.

                        Virginia at No. 17 Miami (-13.5, 45)

                        The Cavs’ offense is last in the ACC in scoring and yards per game, and the defense was gouged the past two games by Georgia Tech (on the ground) and Duke (through the air).

                        Miami leads the all-time series 4-2 and won 24-17 last year. UM’s struggling defense will again be without three key players: linebacker Sean Spence, defensive end Eric Moncour and safety Ray Ray Armstrong.

                        No. 18 Oklahoma State at Iowa State (+7.5, 51)

                        OSU, in its first game in Ames in four years, can take some positives from last week’s rout by Texas: The Cowboys outgained the Horns and didn’t allow a sack. OSU crushed ISU last year and has won five in a row against North Division teams.

                        Iowa State leads the Big 12 in rushing with an average of 200.33 yards per game and still has a shot at the North title. Starting QB Austen Arnaud is expected to return after missing the past two games with an injury.

                        Washington State at No. 19 Arizona (-33.5, 60)

                        Washington State has lost eight straight and 17 of 18 to Top 25 opponents. But the Cougars have covered their past three games this season and five of the past six.

                        The Wildcats have won three in a row against Wazzu. But they are unlikely to have starting RB Nic Grigsby (shoulder strain), who is averaging 7.5 yards on 71 carries. Arizona leads the Pac-10 in total offense.

                        No. 20 Oklahoma at Nebraska (+5, 41.5)

                        The Huskers’ defense has held four straight Big 12 opponents under 300 total yards of offense. That unit might have the best front four in the country. While Ndamukong Suh got all the double teams last week against Baylor, DT Jared Crick had 13 tackles and five sacks.

                        OU has won four in a row in this series, including a 62-28 blowout last year. Expect the Sooners to take an early lead, as they have not allowed a point in the first quarter in their last 10 games. Oklahoma has outscored its opponents 79-0 in the quarter in that span.

                        Navy at No. 21 Notre Dame (-11, 55.5)

                        QB Ricky Dobbs, who has barely played the past two weeks because of injury, will start Saturday. He’s a 50 percent passer but is second on the team in rushing yards and far and away the Navy leader in TDs with 19 (16 rush, three pass).

                        The Irish offense is whole again, as WR Michael Floyd, who was averaging 27.5 yards per catch with five touchdowns in just 10 quarters this season before getting hurt, returns from a broken collarbone.

                        No. 22 Wisconsin at Indiana (+10.5, 54.5)

                        Badger RB John Clay, who is 13th in the nation in rushing TDs and 20th in yards per game, should have a big day against a defense that allows more than 145 yards rushing per game and has given up 15 TDs on the ground. UW has won four in a row in this series.

                        The Hoosiers have been outscored 47-3 in the second half the last two weeks but have held leads in the fourth quarter of four of their last five Big Ten games. Indiana has forced at least three turnovers in three straight games.

                        Oregon State at No. 23 California (-7.5, 61.5)

                        The Beavers have won their past four trips to Berkeley and eight of 10 in the series overall. QB Sean Canfield has the third-best completion percentage in the country and hasn’t thrown a pick in 117 attempts.

                        Bears star Jahvid Best missed practice this week with a mild concussion but believes he will play. But starting tight end Anthony Miller, who caught a game-winning TD last week, is out.

                        No. 25 BYU at Wyoming (+13, 48)

                        BYU has won eight of the past nine in the series and hasn’t lost since 2003. The Cougars, who are unbeaten away from Provo this year, get top WR McKay Jacobson back this week. He has missed the last four games with a hamstring injury.

                        The Cowboys are 0-2 against ranked teams this year (Texas, Utah) but covered against both. Wyoming is plus-10 in turnover margin in its four home games so far.

                          Boise State at Louisiana Tech [ESPN2 | 8:00 PM ET]

                          Boise State (-21, O/U 50.5): The undefeated Broncos have been one of the best pointspread teams through the years going 80-44 against the number during the past 10 plus seasons, including 6-1 this season. Boise State has covered eight of its last 10 road games. Kellen Moore ranks first in the nation in quarterback ratings at 171.0. He’s thrown 24 touchdowns, second-most in the Football Bowl Subdivision, while only being picked off twice. The Broncos are averaging 41 points per game, third-highest in the nation. Boise State also has an outstanding defense that has forced 19 turnovers. Boise State is giving up just 13.6 points per game, 11th-lowest in the country. The Broncos have defeated Louisiana Tech the past five times by margins of 35, 14, 41, 17 and 41 points. Moore passed for 325 yards and two touchdowns to lead Boise State past the Bulldogs, 38-3, last year at home.

                          Boise State is 38-18-2 ATS versus a team with a losing record.
                          The Broncos are 12-3-1 ATS in their past 16 Western Athletic Conference matchups.

                          Key Injuries - None

                          PROJECTED SCORE: 36

                          Louisiana Tech: The Bulldogs have suffered tough defeats in each of the last two weeks, dropping their record to 3-5. Louisiana Tech lost 23-21 at Utah State two weeks ago and last week had to travel to Idaho where it lost 35-34 to the Vandals giving up the winning touchdown with 52 seconds left. The Bulldogs suffered two key injuries in that defeat as running back Daniel Porter and wide receiver Phillip Livas each left. Both are questionable for tonight’s contest. Porter leads the team in rushing, while Livas is third in receptions with 19 for 205 yards and is a top kick returner. The Bulldogs finished their game against Idaho playing five freshmen or sophomores at the skill positions. The Bulldogs have been out-gained by five of their seven FBS opponents. Louisiana Tech is tough at home winning 10 of its last 11 in Ruston.

                          The Bulldogs are 7-20 ATS as an underdog of 10 ½ points or more.
                          The Over has cashed 5 of the past six times the Bulldogs have been a home underdog.

                          Key Injuries - Running back Daniel Porter (upper body) is questionable.
                          Wide receiver Phillip Livas (leg) is questionable.
                          Linebacker Brian White (back) is questionable.

                          PROJECTED SCORE: 15 (OVER - Total of the Day)

                          NOTE: The “Side of the Day” is in the NBA

                              Saturday, November 7

                              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              Game of the day: Connecticut at Cincinnati
                              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                              It’s not often that ABC's lead broadcast crew of Kirk Herbstreit and Brent Musberger pick a Big East contest over a USC or Oklahoma game, but that's the case this Saturday when the UConn Huskies (4-4 7-1 ATS) visit the No. 7 Cincinnati Bearcats (8-0 6-2 ATS) on prime time this Saturday (8PM, ABC regional).

                              There is more than enough motivation for the home team to make a statement on national TV with the Bearcats sitting fifth in the BCS. Combine that with the sour taste of last year's 40-16 loss to the Huskies and you can see why Herbstreit and company are making the visit.

                              Pike or no Pike

                              The biggest concern coming into Saturday is the status of Cincinnati QB Tony Pike (doubtful as of Friday) who has missed the last two games with an arm injury.

                              But even without their star, the Bearcats have not missed a beat offensively thanks to the impressive performance of backup Zach Collaros. In decisive victories over Louisville and Syracuse, the sophomore completed 82 percent of his passes on 548 yards and 7 TDs. Collaros is also a threat on the ground with 213 rushing yards and 2 TDs this year.

                              Regardless of QB, UConn will have to contend with an explosive offense that has outscored Big East opponents 150-49 in four contests and ranks 10th in the nation in passing.

                              Cincy’s Mardy Gilyard leads all receivers with 53 receptions, 734 yards and 9 TDs, but UConn’s D will have to play him honestly. The running back combo of Isaiah Pead and Jacob Ramsey is not statistically impressive, but both their abilities to break for big runs in Brian Kellly's no huddle spread, has allowed for the passing game to make big plays.

                              Fourth-quarter heartbreak

                              UConn has been victim to late game-winning plays in all their losses this season. In last week's 28-24 loss to Rutgers, the Huskies gave up an 81-yard pass with 22 seconds left on the clock. Before that against West Virginia, Noel Devine scored the winner on a 56-yard run.

                              In their first two defeats against North Carolina and Pitt, UConn held the lead going into the fourth quarter, but they failed to score a single point and gave up the game winning plays in the closing minute.

                              Frazier's second chance

                              What is often overlooked with the Bearcats is their defense which has only given up 12.9 points per game this season.

                              Under the direction of defensive coordinator Bob Diaco, the Bearcats have taken a more aggressive approach with a new 3-4 defense and it’s resulted in 29 sacks.

                              UConn will need a big game from running backs Andre Dixon and Jordan Todman in order to open up the passing game. They have combined for 1,374 yards and 15 TDs.

                              QB Zach Frazier has a second chance to prove himself after UConn lost starter Cody Endres for the season with a separated shoulder. Frazier was the starter at the beginning of the year, but lost his job after two horrible games in which he threw four interceptions.

                              Things did not look any better last week with a 45.7 percent completion rate and three INTs.

                              The line

                              The spread for the game opened at -16.5 in favor of Cincinnati and now sits at -17 at most books.

                              Even without Pike the Bearcats have been double digit favorites the last two weeks resulting in paydays both times. They also boast a decent overall ATS (against the spread) record at 6-2 and remain 4-0 ATS against Big East opponents.

                              UConn is an impressive 7-1 ATS, though the lone loss came last week as 7-point favorites against Rutgers.

                              Weather

                              A low of 47 is expected at night and wind could play a factor with SSW winds (end zone to end zone at Nippert) expected at 18 MPH. This will have to be considered with UConn's kicking game as Dave Teggart is 3-for-8 in the last three games.

                              Other notes:

                              - In last year's contest Cincinnati was a 3-point favorite. The previous meeting at Nippert Stadium in 2007 resulted in a 27-3 Bearcat victory over then No. 16 ranked UConn. The Huskies were 6-point favorites.

                              - Cincinnati is 4-1 overall in this series

                              - The total has remained steady at 51.5 at most books. Cincinnati games have gone under five times in the last six games, with an average of 46.8 points being scored in those games.

                              - UConn is in the opposite direction on totals, with five of their last six games going over the total. However this is the first time this season that the Huskies have had a total over 50 points.

                              - Last year's total of 44 went over with 56 points scored.
