Week 3: And the picks keeping coming in...

Marcus says...

Season Record:  3-5
Last Week: 2-2

Notre Dame +6 @ Michigan State

I was live from South Bend last week and saw ND pull a rabbit out of the hat.  The running game was non-existent.  Golson played well, but watched from the sidelines with a 'hand injury' as Rees led the game winning drive.  Sparty got loose last week in Mt Pleasant.  Maxwell threw for 2 TDs and no INTs.  The Battle for the Megaphone is always close and I see this year being much of the same.  I'm taking ND and the points but expect Sparty to win by a FG.

Western Michigan @ Minnesota -3

This will be the live tweet this week as I'll be live from TCF Bank Stadium.  Bronco QB Alex Carder seemed to find targets in TE Blake Hammond and WR Jaime Wilson as WMU rolled up Eastern Illinois.  Senior QB MarQueis Gray led Minnesota to a 2-0 with a 44-7 win against New Hampshire.  Vegas seems to like Coach Cubit and the Broncos but I see a Minnesota victory.  I'm taking Minnesota to cover but am looking for some fight out of WMU.

Massachusetts +45.5 @ Michigan

Air Force came into the big house and almost ruined the Wolverines' season.  UM escaped with a victory and thankfully for them will not face an attack like Air Force the rest of the year.  UMass got beat up by IU last week and looks like they could have a rough year in the MAC.  DE Brennan Beyer will be out for Michigan but they won't need him against the hapless Minutemen.  I think the maize and blue will roll but 45.5 is a huge number.  Take UMass and the points.

Texas -10 @ Ole Miss

Let's venture out of the midwest for a bit and take a trip down south.  The 'Horns laid the wood against New Mexico last week, pitching a shut out.  QB David Ash did it through the air with 2 TD passes and even opened the game with a 49 yard TD run.  Get used to the bench Case McCoy.  The Rebs beat UTEP last week and have a stud in sophomore QB Bo Wallace.  I see the Texas D frustrating Wallace and winning by two TDs.  Take Texas to cover.
