Michigan heads to Minnesota for their first road game of the year. Michigan is in need of a bounce-back win, and you are in need of a good game-day recipe, a good beer, and a prop bet that is going to make you money.

Gameday Recipe: Mini Chicago style hot dogs

Ingredients: 1 egg, 1 package puff pastry sheets, 12 oz mini all-beef hot dogs, 12 oz sport peppers, celery salt, poppy seeds

Dipping Sauce: Dijon mustard, sweet relish, mayonnaise

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

2. Whisk 1 egg with 1 Tbsp water.

3. Cut thawed puff pastry into long triangles.

4. Place a mini hot dog and a sport pepper at the base of each; roll snugly and arrange seam-side down.

5. Brush with egg wash, sprinkle lightly with celery salt and poppy seeds, and bake 15–20 minutes, until golden.

6. Mix ¼ cup Dijon mustard, 3 Tbsp mayo, and 2 Tbsp sweet relish. Serve alongside the warm pastry dogs.

Beer of the week: Lagunitas IPA

Lagunitas IPA is a West Coast-style IPA with an ABV of 6.2%. This delicious IPA has aromas of bright citrus and resinous pine. Lagunitas is one of our favorite breweries out of Chicago that produces a lot of great beer. This beer has a bold taste that will pair well with the saltiness of a hot dog.

Prop bet of the week: We are off to a good start this year on prop bets by hitting six out of nine total bets and well into the positives on profit.

We have two prop bets for you this week against the Gophers. The first one is Bryce Underwood over 193.5 passing yards at -115. Bryce is starting to hit his stride as a passer, and his last game was his best game yet at Michigan. He was making throws on time and in rhythm, while also using his legs to extend plays and find receivers downfield. After not letting Bryce try to win the game on third and five late in the fourth quarter against Iowa, I think we will see a more aggressive Jason Beck in terms of how he uses Bryce. I don't see this passing attack slowing down anytime soon, and so I like this a lot. The second bet I like is Savion Hiter longest rush of 15+ yards at -140.


The Michigan rushing attack has zero runs over 20 yards this season, which is hard to believe. However, you can see Hiter's confidence growing week by week. A breakout run simply has to be on the horizon for the nation's best freshman running back. I like Hiter to break a long one this week and cash this bet. Keep the Jug in Ann Arbor! Go Blue!
