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
Take It To The Bank! Week 5, NFL Edition!
By Paul Schmidt Last week, I bragged about how well I was doing with my NFL picks. I said EVERYONE should listen to me. I even went so far as to demand from my wife that she should start betting all of my games if I went 4-0 again. If you read that last paragraph and didn't understand that I probably REALLY pissed off the gambling gods, well, then you haven't gambled … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank!

Take it To The Bank! Week 6 CFB
By Paul Schmidt After an embarassing 2-2 week this week, I'm not picking against someone. My mom tied me, and while she knows sports, she really does, I know betting and that just shouldn't happen. This week, I'm going back to basics, and picking on my own. And next week, I'll have a guest again. Probably. Maybe. Applicants can apply in the comments, and show me a … [Read more...] about Take it To The Bank! Week 6 CFB
Take It To The Bank, NFL Week 4
By Paul Schmidt Another week, another winning week. I'm on a roll with these picks, although I did only go 3-1 last week. What the heck is wrong with the Titans?? Or is Kerry Collins just remembering he's Kerry Collins? Or drinking again? Now we're getting into where the books and oddsmakers really should have a pretty good handle of what's going on, so this week … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank, NFL Week 4
