By Paul Schmidt Welcome back to week five of my fearless prognostications! Lots of good last week, and let's face it, I was due. Even though my Illini let me down (and by let me down, I mean gave me a swirly for roughly 3 and a half hours), I was able to come up with an over .500 week, and a win against my competitor, Peter Christian. Granted, I received a … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank, Week 5 CFB

Take It To The Bank!! Week 3, NFL Picks!
By Paul Schmidt Welcome back to the most exciting part of the weekend! Actually, I wrote these earlier, and I thought I posted it. But I didn't. Everyone come see how smart I am!!

Take It To The Bank!! Week 4, College Football
By Paul Schmidt Welcome back to Take It To The Bank! First things first -- let's clean up after last week. It was a respectable 2-2, with two things blindsiding me: 1) Florida, by Urban Meyer's own admission, saying they didn't need to run Tennessee out of the stadium because he knew they were only playing to not get blown out. Awesome. Next time, could someone tell ME?? … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank!! Week 4, College Football
Take It To The Bank, NFL Edition Week 2!
By Paul Schmidt Last week, I thought taking some big dogs would be a great way to start the season. I was only half right. I nearly did earn the cover in the Baltimore game, but the Chiefs abandoned Tyler Thigpen for Brodie Croyle. OK, they didn't really abandon him...but they certainly didn't play him. And Brodie Croyle sucks. I do know that. Given all that, the Ravens … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank, NFL Edition Week 2!
Take It To The Bank!!
By Paul Schmidt OK, sports fans, welcome back for week three of college football! This week is marked with...well, not a ton of marquee matchups. It's kind of a dull week after going through the games. That doesn't mean you can't make money though! You know, unless you listen to me....ouch. 1-3 last week? 3-5 for the season? Man. That's just depressing. However, … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank!!
Take It To The Bank! Week 1 NFL Edition!
By Paul Schmidt Yes, it's the most gambled on sport in the US. Yes, there's guys telling you what to bet on everywhere. The difference between them and I? I'll be right. And I'm funnier. And better looking. Every week I'll be picking 4 NFL games to wager on via the point spread, and the reason why as well. It'll be the tastiest matchups I can find. Week 1, just … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank! Week 1 NFL Edition!
Take it to the BANK!
By Paul Schmidt Week one is in the books, and I came away relatively unscathed. 2-2 for the week, both on late covers from MAC teams. The MAC is frisky! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!! However, last week there were some stumbles. Apparently Michigan is gonna be pretty good. And Oklahoma State, despite all my protestations, may actually NOT be overrated. I can … [Read more...] about Take it to the BANK!
