What do Florida State, UConn, Arkansas and BYU all have in common? None of these four college football teams have covered against the spread (ATS) this year.
On the other side of the betting slip is Buffalo, which is the only team in all of college football to go undefeated ATS (6-0).

A huge reason for the Bulls' success is an offense ranked 52nd in the country at 430 yards per game. The offense has kept humming despite injuries to starting quarterback Tyree Jackson.
Buffalo's win-loss record is 3-3 at the season's halfway point, as they get ready to host Northern Illinois on Saturday. Let's recap how the team outlasted 129 other FBS squads to become the only college football team perfect against the spread so far in 2017.

Army 21 – Buffalo 17, Point Spread Plus 15
Forget covering the 15 points, the Bulls were on their way to an upset road victory over Army until the Black Knights scored twice in the fourth quarter to complete the comeback.
Tyree Jackson did have his most electrifying play of the season at West Point however.
