Water coolers and sports talk radio hosts can rejoice once again this year, as the BCS system has people bemoaning the lack of a true playoff system in college ball. The Alabama Crimson Tide pulled off a tidy upset of the #1 Florida Gators last Saturday, moving into the Championship game. Listed anywhere from as 5.5-point underdogs up to +7, ‘Bama was getting only about 30% … [Read more...] about NCAA Bowl Odds

Take It To The Bank, Week 11 NFL Edition!
By Paul Schmidt Yes, yes, it's the triumphant return of Take It To The Bank! I know you all missed me. But this is what happens when you get married and then have a baby. Time is no longer yours. Just don't have kids! They scream and poop and you can't watch football. Or gamble. Does that sound like fun??? Ahem. No no...being a dad is great. It really is. I … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank, Week 11 NFL Edition!
Take It To The Bank, Express Week 8 Special Edition
By Paul Schmidt OK, I'm running late today...I am a victim of the daylight savings. Sort of. My alarm didn't actually go off...I can blame it all on daylight savings still, right? Yeah....I know, probably not. Anyway, as an extra added bonus, here's EVERY GAME for this week, with lines courtesy of Harrah's Casinos in Las Vegas. Denver +4 at Baltimore Cleveland at … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank, Express Week 8 Special Edition
Take It To The Bank! CFB Week 9
By Paul Schmidt "I love my Idaho Vandals. This is a ridiculous line." Well...it certainly was. Should have been about twice as big...that was, however, one of the year's silliest football games, with Nevada racking up nearly 500 rushing yards, and scoring 70 points in winning a 70-45 score-fest last weekend. Just an all-around wild game...and also the only game I … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank! CFB Week 9
Take It To The Bank! Week 7 NFL!
By Paul Schmidt So, let's forget what happened last week. That's right, we'll just forget it. 0-4? Oh and Four???? What???? Three of my picks outright lost, and the fourth, Jacksonville, barely snuck out a win. EPIC FAIL. On the plus side, I'm still over .500, and that's a good thing... On to this week's picks, with lines courtesy of Harrah's casinos in Las … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank! Week 7 NFL!
Take It To The Bank, Week 8 CFB!
By Paul Schmidt So we're a little late getting picks up this week, but then, I didn't like the early games this week anyway. You have to manage your payroll and part of that is not wagering on games you don't like. I mean...who wants to bet on Illinois and Purdue? No matter what the spread??? Couldn't continue my undefeated roll, but I did go 2-1-1, and I still … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank, Week 8 CFB!
Take It To The Bank, Week 6 NFL!
By Paul Schmidt The first five weeks of the NFL season...I won't say they have been a gambler's paradise, but I will say that Vegas has been taking a bath. The biggest reason is how bad some of these NFL teams are. To wit: Jacksonville is one of the worst teams in the NFL this season. Last week, they got blown out on the road, 44-0. This week, they come home, and they … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank, Week 6 NFL!
Take It To the Bank! Week 7 CFB
By Paul Schmidt Ahhh...4-0. That sounds really nice. I finally showed what I can do last week with a 4-0 week, and some easy-money lines in C-USA and the WAC. Given my reliance on Central Michigan this season it was really nice to get a boost from some of the other smaller conferences... This week's lines are a smattering of weird...a little bit because of some rivalry … [Read more...] about Take It To the Bank! Week 7 CFB
