Make Winning Bets for Sweet 16: Differences than Opening Weekend NCAA Tournament
by Trevor Whenham - 3/25/2019
It's almost as if the NCAA Tournament starts over after the first four days of action. The Sweet 16 and beyond feels different in almost every way from the two rounds that precede it. There is typically much less chaos - not that chaos was a big issue on the opening weekend this year. And the chance to go home and take a breath before heading out for the next game or, hopefully two, gives a chance for teams to remember who they are and get back to what they do best. Read More >>
2019 NCAA Tournament Bracket Predictions: Midwest Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/20/2019
One of the tenants of chaos theory is that that if you focus long enough and hard enough on dynamic, highly-sensitive, and seemingly random systems, then patterns actually start to emerge. There is no system in sports more imbued with chaos than the NCAA Tournament. Read More >>
2019 March Madness Bracket Predictions: South Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/20/2019
Last year Virginia was obviously the most overrated team in the field. This year you could argue that they are underrated. And while I was selling the Cavs heading into last year's Big Dance, I am somewhat bullish on Virginia this year. If the Cavaliers are going to earn that elusive slot in the Final Four, they are certainly going to have to earn it. Heavyweights like Tennessee and Villanova, as well as top-tier programs like Wisconsin, Oregon, and Purdue, all stand in their way. Read More >>

2019 March Madness Handicapping: No. 5 vs. No. 12 Seeds
by Chris Vasile - 3/20/2019
The field of 68 teams has been set for this year's NCAA Tournament and the annual rite of picking your March Madness bracket is underway. We've already seen two play-in games offer up some intriguing basketball, and the hope is that it will only get better as the tournament progresses. One of the most exciting aspects of this sporting event is that the threat that a couple of upsets here and there can completely change the entire complexion of the tournament. Read More >>
Help Filling Out NCAA Tournament Brackets: Sweet 16 Surprises
by Trevor Whenham - 3/19/2019
When the NCAA Tournament goes exactly to form, we would expect to see a Sweet 16 that is populated entirely by the top four seeds. No. 1 would play No. 4, and 2 and 3 would battle away. Of course, it rarely works out so smoothly. And last year was a great reminder that sometimes it isn't even close. Read More >>
2019 March Madness Prop Bets and Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 3/19/2019
When it comes to prop bets, March Madness is absolutely not the Super Bowl. In the Super Bowl you can bet on any possible aspect of the game - and a million things that you would never even think of. NCAA Tournament props are in very short supply, though. Disappointingly so. We'll seek out the best March Madness prop bets, and add some predictions, but it could be so much more interesting than it is. Where's the creativity? You can do better, oddsmakers. The props we will look at are from MyBookie. Read More >>
NCAA Tournament Bracket Predictions: High Seeds That Could Surprise
by Trevor Whenham - 3/19/2019
Guided by Sister Jean, Loyola worked their way right into our hearts as they made it all the way into the Final Four as a No. 11 seed. It had all the elements of a great story, and they were so easy to cheer for. They weren't the first upstart low seed to go on a crazy run, and they won't be the last. It's a big part of what makes the NCAA Tournament so special. Every year when the bracket is released, it's fun to look for which teams could be the ones to steal our hearts. Read More >>
NCAA Tournament Bracket Strategy and Advice: Dangerous Low Seeds
by Chris Vasile - 3/19/2019
With Selection Sunday in the rear-view mirror and the field of 68 set for the 2019 NCAA Tournament , the public is now in a race against time to handicap all four play-in games and 32 first-round games that will be contested over the next five days. Most bettors have a routine when handicapping games, but not even that stops them from debating (complaining) about the teams that got terrible draws. Whether it was seeding or the region they got sent to, there is always some sort of backlash from the public towards the selection committee regarding the bracket. Read More >>

by Ricky Dimon - 3/19/2019
It's that time of year again. You know, the best time of year: when March Madness is upon us and everyone is busy doing, redoing, and continuing to redo their brackets. And then when they're done redoing that bracket, they'll do another one. Rare in this day and age does anyone rely on just one sheet of integrity. But everyone has that one sheet of integrity that they think is the winner and they submit to whichever pool has the biggest pot. So, let's take a look at some factors that may help you fill out the most important one in the best possible way. Read More >>

NCAA Tournament Coaches That Could Become Famous
by Trevor Whenham - 3/19/2019
Every year in the NCAA Tournament we see coaches who few knew about become stars on the biggest of platforms. They can turn them into a much bigger job immediately - Andy Enfield parlayed a run with Florida Gulf Coast into a new job at USC. Or it can be a slower burn - Shaka Smart saw his profile grow with every appearance with VCU. Read More >>
2019 March Madness Bracket Picks: Expert Predictions for West Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/18/2019
Every year there is one region that is so brutally loaded with potential Final Four participants that it is dubbed "The Region of Death". Well, this year it is the West Region, and frankly it's not even close. Gonzaga, Syracuse and Michigan have all been the Final Four in the past three years. Florida and Florida State have each made the Elite Eight in the past three years. This region features two of the best offensive players in the country (Marquette's Markus Howard and Murray State's Ja Morant), while also featuring two of the best defensive teams in the country (Syracuse and Texas Tech).

2019 March Madness Bracket Predictions: Expert Picks for East Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/18/2019
In general, I think that the NCAA Tournament selection committee did a pretty decent job with this year's field. It is a weaker, more watered-down field than we've seen in the tournament in several years, and there weren't all that many difficult decisions to be made. Setting the field was a layup, and the committee didn't blow it. Read More >>

Expert NCAA Tournament Handicapping and Betting Advice: Rematches in Tourney
by Trevor Whenham - 3/18/2019
Every year we see a few situations in the NCAA Tournament in which teams that have already played in the regular season meet again in the tournament. The committee will avoid these situations in the opening round unless they can't possibly do so. But after that it can happen, and very likely will at some point this year - probably more than once. Our goal here is simple - see what has happened in the past in these situations so that history can help guide us here and then look at some of the more interesting potential rematches we could see.

Might We See Another No. 16 Seed Upset a No. 1 in This Year's NCAA Tournament?
by Trevor Whenham - 3/18/2019
When UMBC stunned the world and beat Virginia in the first round of last year's NCAA Tournament as a No. 16 seed, they changed the tournament fundamentally. Suddenly what had always seemed impossible had actually happened. And instead of viewing the lowest seeds as no-hopers who were just happy to be there, we suddenly had to take them seriously.

March Madness Bracket Trends for Seeds
by Chris Vasile - 3/18/2019
What is the key to filling out a successful bracket while also cashing bets? Well, there is no simple formula. Heck, some people base their picks off of mascot coolness. Others may put team names on a dartboard and see where their throws land. Whatever the case, a basic knowledge of NCAA Tournament seed history certainly can't hurt. Each seed -- No. 1 through No. 16 -- owns an extensive profile compiled over several decades of March Madness festivities that gamblers can use to their advantage. Read More >>
