And here's those long awaited NFL picks for Sunday's games. You're probably wondering why I didn't pick last night's game, and there's a few reasons: 1) the whole getting out of jail thing. 2) I don't bet on games where the quarterback is a grandfather, and almost my age. 3) I didn't feel like it. Yeah that's right, I said it, whatcha gonna do about it? Look, football … [Read more...] about Take It To The Bank, NFL Edition

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! 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 5 CFB
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
