It’s the most wonderful time of the year - March Madness is in full swing. The Big Dance, as always, provided us with the expected upsets, buzzer-beaters, and drama. However, as we head into the Sweet 16, the big question is: which teams are truly set up to make a run at the National Championship?

NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 Best Bets Against the Spread and Over Under
by Joey House - 3/25/2025

The NCAA Basketball Tournament, commonly known as "March Madness," received this name due to the surprising upsets and unexpected outcomes of games that seemed straightforward on paper. While the first weekend typically brings shocking results, this year's tournament saw fewer upsets than usual. In the opening round, only five double-digit seeds advanced to the weekend, and only one of those potential "Cinderella" teams, 10-seed Arkansas, made it to the Sweet 16. More concerning for mid-major teams is that this marks the first tournament in history where only teams from the Power 4 conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC) reached the Sweet 16.
