2017 ACC Tournament Predictions with College Basketball Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/6/2017

The ACC is invading NYC this week, with the men's ACC Conference basketball tournament taking place in Brooklyn this weekend. The ACC's 15-team Franken-tournament is the largest of the major conference tournaments and will have long-reaching ramifications not just in regards of crowning a league champion but also for setting up next week's NCAA Tournament field.

Joe Lunardi and ESPN Bracketology a Complete Fraud
by Robert Ferringo - 3/6/2017

I have nothing against Joe Lunardi personally. But perhaps more than any other person on television Lunardi has become the "voice" of NCAA Tournament predictions despite the fact that, in my opinion, his whole facade is nothing more than corporate-sponsored branding. In short, Joe Lunardi and his self-proclaimed "Bracketology" is a fraud.

2017 MAC Tournament Predictions with College Basketball Betting Odds
by Chris Vasile - 3/6/2017

The MAC Conference Tournament gets underway tonight with four games and runs through March 11. The winner of the tournament is designated the MAC Tournament Champion and receives the conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, which begins March 14. The Buffalo Bulls are the two-time defending tournament champion and will have a lot of work to do in order to defend the crown. The Bulls have had a down year by their standards and will be in tough against the likes of solid teams like Akron and Ohio.

March Madness Projections & NCAA Tournament Bracket Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 3/3/2017

The most glorious month of the sports betting calendar is upon is. For 31 days the college basketball-loving world will be inundated with buzzer beaters, back-door covers, bubbles bursting and big shots everywhere. It can be a gambler's paradise - or a nightmare. But either way, it is always an adrenaline-addled thrill ride that encapsulates everything we love and loathe in terms of sports, competition, gambling and Life on Earth here, now, in this Year of Our Lord 2017.

2017 Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Predictions with NCAA Basketball Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/2/2017

Arch Madness, also known as the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament, is one of the first conference tournaments to be played and kind of an unofficial indicator that The Madness of March has begun. Like most recent seasons, there are two powerhouse teams at the top of the league and then a bunch of also-rans. However, I feel like the gap between those top two clubs is shorter than the win-loss records suggest.

2017 NCAA Tournament Field Projections and Predictions for March Madness
by Robert Ferringo - 1/16/2017

Football is all but over. College football is done. The NFL has just three games left in its campaign. And that means that bettors around the country, if they haven't already, are turning all of their attention to the hardwood. And while the NBA is technically more popular than college basketball, the sportsbooks know that the college kids are going to be paying the bills for the next two months.

Oklahoma vs. Villanova Free Final Four Picks for Best Props on the Board
by Chris Vasile - 4/2/2016

After five long and grueling days, the NCAA Tournament is set to resume with two very juicy Final Four matchups. I would go out on a limb and say three out of the four teams taking part were "expected" to make it to Houston, with the lone Cinderella team being Syracuse.

Syracuse vs. North Carolina Free Picks: Best Props on the Board
by Chris Vasile - 4/2/2016

The second Final Four game scheduled for Saturday is somewhat of an enigma to me. It pits the No.10 seeded Syracuse Orange against the current favorite to win the tournament, No.1-ranked North Carolina. These two teams have taken different paths to Houston, with the Orange relying on a great 2-3 zone defense and the Tar Heels outscoring teams.

Free NIT Championship Game Picks for George Washington vs. Valparaiso
by Chris Vasile - 3/31/2016

The NIT tournament is usually an afterthought for bettors when it comes to college basketball in March. While everyone gets caught up with the hoopla surrounding the NCAA Tournament, I believe the real value lies in betting on the NIT. In the NIT, teams are busting their butts to prove to the committee they should have been invited to the Big Dance.

Final Four Betting Trends and Expert Handicapping
by Trevor Whenham - 3/30/2016

The Final Four is just days away. As bettors our job right now is simple - we need to be looking for every possible edge that we can find to help us find the winning bets in the three remaining games on the college basketball calendar. This almost certainly isn't the Final Four that you had in your brackets before the tournament started, so we aren't working with a lot of preconceived notions about these matchups. To help us find that edge, then, let's look back at some recent Final Four betting trends for each of the remaining combatants:

2016 Final Four Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 3/30/2016

We have made it to the end - or at least close enough. Over the last three weeks we have dissected the NCAA Tournament from every possible angle. Thousands and thousands of words later we were right about a bunch of things and, sadly, wrong about a bunch, too (I'm looking at you, Michigan State). All that is left now is to make six Final Four predictions - what we will see, what will impact the outcome of the games, who has the edge, and so on. Without further ado:

2016 Final Four Betting: Handicapping the Coaches
by Trevor Whenham - 3/30/2016

What stands out above all else every year when the Final Four is set is the importance of coaching in college basketball. Without exception, the field of coaches each year is deeply talented and wildly accomplished. That is, yet again, the case with the four coaches this year. You can see coaching mismatches in earlier rounds, but by this point things will be decided on the court, not in the coaches' rooms.

NCAA Tournament MOP Picks with other Props Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 3/30/2016

One of the most heavily-bet player props for this tournament is who will be named Most Outstanding Player (MOP). And now that the field has been reduced to just four teams, Bovada's current prop bet odds are a bit easier to navigate. While there are a number of worthy candidates on the list, I am looking for the one that offers the best value at their betting odds.

NIT Free Picks and Expert Betting Predictions: BYU vs. Valparaiso
by Chris Vasile - 3/29/2016

"When the cat is away, the mice will play." With the NCAA set to resume on Saturday, April 2, for the Final Four, you would think this five-day break would give bettors a time to regroup and re-examine their systems heading into the weekend. Wrong. There is no rest for the wicked, especially in March as the NIT Tournament has two semi-finals slated for Tuesday with some very good teams taking part.

Free NIT Betting Picks and Expert Predictions: George Washington vs. SDSU
by Chris Vasile - 3/29/2016

We are now one day closer to the NCAA Final Four. The buzz of the Elite 8 has worn off, and if you are looking for something to fill the void before the much-anticipated April 2 date then you are in luck. The NIT semi-final slate is scheduled to kick off tonight at the Mecca of Basketball, Madison Square Garden. I have already written about the first semi-final between BYU and Valparaiso, so let's take a look at the second.

Final Four Bracket Picks and Expert NCAA Tournament Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 3/28/2016

What a mess this year's NCAA Tournament has been - at least from the perspective of my poor brackets. My first bracket was shredded when Michigan State, who like everyone else I had going deep, laid an egg in their opener. I tried again with a Sweet 16 bracket, but Gonzaga and others crushed that one. There were only eight teams to choose from when I did an Elite Eight bracket, but I botched that one, too - I had Kansas winning, and though I don't apologize for this one I didn't have Syracuse advancing, either. My crystal ball is clearly cracked this year. So, there is only one thing to do - give it one last try.

Elite Eight Bracket Picks and Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 3/26/2016

Well, another round is in the books. And, as so often happens, a truly brilliant first week of the tournament was followed by a Sweet 16 round that was mostly dull. The higher seed won all eight games, they covered in every case, and only two of the games were even close. It was not the two nights that we dreamed about. Actually, it kind of sucked.

Free Sweet 16 March Madness Prop Bets & Predictions for Friday
by Chris Vasile - 3/25/2016

It is amazing what some down time can to do rejuvenate bettors. If they use that time wisely, that is. In my case, I was able to process the first two rounds of the tournament and come to an understanding of what to expect from each team taking part in the Sweet 16 round. The results speak for themselves. I went 3-0 last night, hitting all three of my team totals prop bets.

Sweet 16 Betting Advice: Best and Worst March Madness Wagers
by Trevor Whenham - 3/24/2016

Up until this point I have spent most of my time writing about and focusing on the brackets heading into the Sweet 16. As the games draw nearer, though, it's time to shift focus a bit and look at what in many ways is a lot more interesting - the spreads. For the most part the spreads in the Sweet 16 are fair - at least some version of what I would expect them to be.

Free Sweet 16 March Madness Prop Bets & Predictions for Thursday
by Chris Vasile - 3/24/2016

Tonight's slate of games features some very interesting matchups. And from what the Las Vegas lines say, some evenly-matched games. As we get deeper into the tournament the lines get sharper and sharper, which is why picking a side is an even tougher task now than in the first two rounds.
