Okay. Week 2 was okay. It was a bit of a let down after Week 1, but it was okay. To make amends, Week 3 is going to be great. We are all so happy that college football is back.<\/p>\n

DK\u2019s 2016 Week 3 CFB Game Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n Florida State @ Louisville (Saturday, September 17<\/strong>th<\/sup><\/strong>, 12:00 p.m., ABC)<\/strong><\/p>\n If you chose this game to be the first matchup between Top 10 teams this season, you could have won some cash. Louisville gets College GameDay<\/strong> this week, with one of the three biggest games in the ACC<\/strong> this season. Out-of-nowhere Heisman Trophy<\/strong> candidate QB Lamar Jackson<\/strong> will try to get the win over pre-season Heisman candidate Dalvin Cook<\/strong>. Louisville is really good and is at home, but the Seminoles<\/strong> are better. Florida State will eke out a win.<\/p>\n Pick: Florida State 31, Louisville 27<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Temple @ Penn State (Saturday, September 17<\/strong>th<\/sup><\/strong>, 12:00 p.m., BTN)<\/strong><\/p>\n Temple is not the conference title contender that it was a season ago, but Matt Rhule’s<\/strong> Owls<\/strong> are capable of being a pest in this intrastate rivalry game. Penn State showed moxie last week before falling to Pitt. The Nittany Lions<\/strong>\u00a0will honor\u00a0Joe Paterno<\/strong> this week, so Happy Valley<\/strong> figures to be packed and emotional.\u00a0The home team will win.<\/p>\n Pick: Penn State 38, Temple 24<\/p>\n <\/p>\n North Dakota State @ Iowa (Saturday, September 17th<\/sup>, 12:00 p.m., ESPN2)<\/strong><\/p>\n Iowa is ranked in the Top 20, and returns QB C.J. Beathard<\/strong> in 2016. The Bison<\/strong>, however, are famous for taking a team\u2019s bag money and then beating them on their own field. Be careful, here, Hawkeyes<\/strong>. The B1G<\/strong> home team will come to play, and will use its superior size up front to grind out a win.<\/p>\n Pick: Iowa 24, North Dakota State 21<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oregon @ Nebraska (Saturday, September 17th<\/sup>, 3:30 p.m., ESPN)<\/strong><\/p>\n Coaches Mark Helferich<\/strong> and Mike Riley<\/strong> know each other very well as former in-state Pac-12<\/strong> rivals. This season, both teams are unbeaten, but Oregon\u2019s defense has been shaky at times, particularly in its opener against FCS<\/strong> UC Davis<\/strong>. Stopping the run will be key for the Quack Attack<\/strong>, and QB Tommy Armstrong Jr.<\/strong> and company will\u00a0make that hard. Nebraska will get it done in Lincoln<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Pick: Nebraska 35, Oregon 30<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alabama @ Mississippi (Saturday, September 17th<\/sup>, 3:30 p.m., ABC)<\/strong><\/p>\n The top-ranked Crimson Tide<\/strong> have had a difficult time with the Rebels in recent years, even falling to them last season at home, en route to a national championship. QB Chad Kelly<\/strong> and his team will put up a fight, but will not have the firepower to handle QB Jalen Hurts<\/strong> and RB Damien Harris<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Pick: Alabama 37, Mississippi 23<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
