Drunk Uncle Mike’s Picks Of The Week [Week 3]

Sorry, it took to week 3 – I’ve been drinking a LOT watching Notre Dame football. Last year I finished 19-10 – not exactly a worldbeater, so we’ll try better this year.

Here ya go:

Michigan State +5 @ Notre Dame: Top 15 team getting 5 from an 0-2 team. Granted, the most talented 0-2 team in the country, and a rival. But 5 turnovers in a game for the Irish is a fluke. 10 in a 2 games is a trend.  Sparty! (I gagged a little writing that, but money is money)

Oklahoma @ Florida State +5: Boomer Schooner was my go-to all season long, and they might be again this year, just not this week. Bob Stoops career numbers on the road against ranked non-conference opponents are BAD, something like 5-10 ATS, and we all know how they love to choke in big games. Were this in Norman, I would be all over Oklahoma like a carpetbagger, but alas. A top-5 team getting points at home is too much for me. I ride with Chief Osceola.

Wisconsin -17 @ Northern Illinois -  Wisconsin should go by the name “Honey Badgers”, because their offense is f**king relentless. Montee Ball has scored 20 tds in his last 7 games. Add in NC State transfer Russell Wilson at QB, and an offense that only had 11 turnovers ALL OF LAST SEASON gets even more efficient. Book it.
