Buffalo vs. UMass live stream, how to watch online, CBS Sports Network channel finder, odds

CBS Sports Network’s continued coverage of the 2024 college football season features three games for the Week 3 slate. Action starts Saturday afternoon as UMass travels to take on Buffalo for the first time since 2022 and just the 15th time in program history. 

UMass did come out on top the last time it played in Buffalo and capped its last season as a Mid-American Conference program with a 31-26 win against the Bulls on Nov. 27, 2015. 

Then, No. 12 Utah and Utah State will take center stage in the first of two nonconference games. The Utes and the Aggies haven’t battled for the Beehive Boot since Sept. 11, 2015. That game ended with Utah picking up its 79th win against one of its top in-state rivals. 

To end the night, a surging BYU team travels to Wyoming for one final test before Big 12 play begins. The Cougars and the Cowboys used to play annually when they shared the Western Athletic Conference and were common foes in the Mountain West, but this will be their first meeting since 2022 and just their third since 2010. 

CBS Sports Network will be with you every step of the way once the Week 3 games begin. In the meantime, get caught up on viewing information, storylines, betting odds and more for each matchup.

UMass at Buffalo 

Date: Saturday, Sept. 14  | Time: 1 p.m.

Spread: Buffalo -4 | Will the Bulls cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 3 projections here

The Minutemen are set to join the Mid-American Conference in July 2025, so this could be a more consistent matchup in the future. For now, though, UMass is still independent. It’s also 1-11 in its last 12 games against FBS competition, and with how Buffalo has looked thus far, it may be hard to chance that Saturday. The Bulls opened the year with a 30-13 win versus Lafayette, and though they didn’t score in a 38-0 Week 2 loss to Missouri, they still looked relatively respectable on the road against a top-10 SEC team. 

Utah at Utah State  

Date: Saturday, Sept. 7 | Time: 4:30 p.m. 
Location: Maverik Stadium  — Logan, Utah
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder] 
Live stream: CBSSports.com | Mobile: CBS Sports App (Free)
Spread: Utah -21.5 | Will the Utes cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 3 projections here

The Battle of the Brothers is back after an almost 10-year hiatus. It’s been even longer since these two teams met in Logan, when Utah State earned a thrilling 27-20 overtime victory on Sept. 7, 2012. That was the Aggies’ only win against their old rival this century; Utah holds a 12-1 advantage in games dating back to 2000. Utah, which was picked first in the preseason Big 12 media poll, is a big favorite to add to that tally. 

BYU at Wyoming

Date: Saturday, Sept. 14 | Time: 9 p.m. 
Location: War Memorial Stadium — Laramie, Wyoming 
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder]

Spread: BYU -10 | Will the Cougars cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 3 projections here

This underrated nonconference match pits two teams on different trajectories against one another. BYU has exceeded expectations thus far and is coming off an impressive win against SMU, a team that many saw as a dark-horse contender in its first year with the ACC. Wyoming, meanwhile, opened its 2024 campaign with a 48-7 drubbing at the hands of Arizona State and followed that with a 17-13 loss to FCS Idaho — a team that gave Oregon some trouble in Week 1. The Cowboys are always a threat, though, and have beaten plenty of Power Four programs in the recent past.
