Free March Madness Picks: Potential First-Round Upsets
by T.O. Whenham - 3/16/2010
My favorite part of the NCAA Tournament is the same as everyone else - trying to decode the March Madness bracket to try to win a pool or two. My second favorite part, though, is betting underdogs on the money line. We know that upsets are a big part of the tournament - there are an average of 16 every year. The money line is a great way to take maximum advantage of those upsets to (hopefully) turn a profit. Here's a look at eight games at even money or better that seem attractive in my eyes – these are free March Madness picks to play on the money line:
March Madness Brackets Help: Easiest Paths to Final Four
by T.O. Whenham - 3/16/2010
There is no such thing as an easy path through the NCAA Tournament. To cut down the nets in Indianapolis this year a team will have to win six straight games against increasingly difficult competition that have been aiming for this tournament since before the season began. That being said, the road is a lot easier on paper for some teams than others. Here's a look at four teams with comparatively easy paths to glory:

The NCAA Tournament Selection Committee has one of the hardest jobs on the planet. No matter what they do every year they are going to face endless amounts of criticism. Trying to fit 65 teams in to a bracket and making sure that they are all where they belong is almost an impossible job. Still, some years they do a better job than others, and this year wasn't one of their best.
March Madness Betting Trends – NIT Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 3/16/2010
In all the excitement and anticipation surrounding the NCAA Tournament, it's easy to forget that there is another tournament that actually starts a couple of days before the big dance - one that actually used to be the most prestigious one. The NIT may now be just the place where teams that aren't good enough to make the real tournament play, but it's still provide plenty of betting opportunities, and anything that you can bet on can't be all bad.
March Madness Betting: CBI Tournament Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 3/16/2010
There is another lesser-known tournament out there that gets to pick teams from what is left of the field after the NCAA Tournament and NIT tournament get their teams. The College Basketball Invitational is now in its third year. It is smaller than the 65-team NCAA Tournament and the 32-team NIT.
Odds of a Perfect March Madness Bracket
by Matt Severance - 3/16/2010
Chances are you have come across a promotion on some Web site that promises an awesome grand prize for anyone who can simply not miss a game in their March Madness bracket. So what are the chances of achieving that? Try one-in-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 -- this doesn’t include the play-in game but the 63 games following. That’s nine-plus quintillion (according to one story, some entomologists claim that’s about the number of insects on Earth).
Free March Madness Contests - $5 Million for Perfect Bracket
by Doc's Sports - 3/16/2010
Three brackets, three ways to win. That’s what BetUS is offering site visitors in their new March Madness contest. In one of the most lucrative of all free March Madness contests, BetUS is offering up $5 million to anyone that can fill out a perfect bracket. This may seem like easy money to some, but the odds are actually 18.5 quintillion/1. We have never heard of quintillion, but we imagine this indicates it is a pretty big longshot.
2010 Final Four Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 3/15/2010
The March Madness bracket is out, the games are around the corner, and speculation is running high. The Final Four is the most perfect format in sports, and trying to pick the winners correctly is the most haunting challenge there is. Every year at this time I set out to boldly make my Final Four predictions. Sometimes my predictions turn out to look pretty good. Other times, like last year, they are pretty much disastrous. I have a short memory, though, so I won't let those setbacks bother me. Here. then, are this year's version of my Final Four predictions:
College Basketball Handicapping: ACC Tournament Preview
by Robert Ferringo - 3/11/2010
The Duke Invitational Tournament begins today in Greensboro, N.C. Also known as the “ACC Tournament”, the Duke Invitational is generally held as a coronation for the Blue Devils en route to an inflated seed in the NCAA Tournament. Duke has won eight of the last 11 ACC titles and have appeared in 10 of the last 13 conference championship games. And scoping a relatively weak ACC field I don’t see how this weekend will be much different for the top-seeded Devils.
College Basketball Handicapping: SEC Tournament Preview
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2010
To suggest that the SEC East is just a little bit better than the SEC West this year might be a bit of an understatement. The top four teams in the East – Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Florida – went a perfect 24-0 this season against the six teams in the West. Overall the East sported a ridiculous 27-9 mark against its brethren out West. That is domination, pure and simple.
College Basketball Handicapping: WAC Tournament Preview
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2010
Looking around the college basketball landscape I can say that the WAC is one of the few conferences in the country that is actually better this year than it was last year. This league brought back 33 of 45 starters from last year and eight of 10 all-league performers, all along with 14 of their top 15 scorers and 13 of their top 15 rebounders.
NCAA Tournament Handicapping: The Battle for the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 3/10/2010
Some teams will be looking for more than just winning their conference championship this week during college basketball’s championship week. There are No. 1 and No. 2 seeds up for grabs. In the case of the No. 1 seeds, they are not exactly up for grabs as three teams have all but solidified their spot.
