UB had a chance to dethrone the Mid-American Conference's last unbeaten team, its unquestioned forerunner. The Bulls out-dueled their opposition in almost every statistical category - except the one that ended up being most influential: turnovers.
Last week, I came extremely close to picking the 49ers over the Jets as my lock. I believe the spread was -4 to San Francisco. The Jets and their dual-headed quarterback tandem (or whatever you want to call it, I'm not sure Tebow even has a position anymore) got shutout.
His father starred at Penn St. and with the Philadelphia Eagles and his brother currently plays at Penn St. In high school, he led his football team to a 15-0 state championship season.
After week two of the NFL season, there are two things I took away from the weekend: First, the 49ers are really good, and second, I'm never picking the line on a Bills game the rest of the season.
After Buffalo scored 79 points in its first two games, the most since 1959, the "Sea of Blue" was calm on Wednesday night. Hopeful fans quietly exited UB Stadium after the football team's Mid-American Conference opener.
Not a hot start after week one. If you read my "Take a Chance On" games last week, you probably shouldn't have taken a chance. Hopefully you took it to heart when I noted those games were not guarantees. And for the record, no, I am not a Bills fan. I'm probably the furthest thing from it.

Gambling on sporting events is an integral part of many college students' sports viewing, most notably the National Football League. Every Friday throughout the season I'll suggest the most enticing lines to pick from that week's games. For those of you new to the vast world of sports betting, here's a brief crash course:
The 21st century's version of the classic Bird versus Magic NBA Final's battles, between LeBron James and Kevin Durant has been dominating the airwaves of social media. But with the NBA season coming to a close, we will move on to the next anticipated commodity as sports fans, and I'm not referring to the large portion of the 162 games played by the MLB this summer. It's the $9 billion enterprise we call the National Football League.
The 2011-12 men's basketball team's historic run will be embroidered in the memories of every Bulls fan that played witness to their Cinderella story. But often times in sports the clock strikes at midnight - your heart is left empty and the promise of your team making it all the way eventually reaches a common, sensible conclusion:
Sophomore Miranda Podlas was not offered any scholarships to play tennis going into college. After walking on to the women's tennis team, she proved that she deserved one.
The men's tennis team is a week away from having a chance to do something that's never been done in school history: win the Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship.
The starting pitching staff was responsible for every earned run that the baseball team allowed this weekend. The Bulls' bats were equally inept, as they continued to struggle with men on base.
With a week left in the NBA regular season, there are a number of Finals contenders that have question marks written all over their injury-rattled rosters.
With more than half the season gone, the softball team has had its fair share of disappointments, most recently being a two-week stretch of losing nine out of ten games. But as the Bulls traveled north this weekend a promising turnaround was on the horizon, as they turned in their best weekend stretch of the season.
On Friday afternoon, the baseball team sat in the dugout and watched yet another team celebrate at home plate.
Monday night No. 1 overall seed Kentucky defeated Kansas to win its first National Championship since 1998, and head coach John Calipari earned his first ever title. He has been shuffling around college basketball for years now, bringing under-the-radar teams into the spotlight with his aggressive recruiting techniques.
When junior outfielder Caitlin Dekker hit a two run homerun in the bottom of the sixth inning, it looked as if the softball team was poised to complete the comeback - but the opposition had other plans.
With half the season gone and a long string of consecutive losses piling up for the men's tennis team, it has found a way to turn things around in swift fashion.
