2025 March Madness Bracket Predictions: West Region
by Ryan Cobbett - 3/17/2025

The West Region is the only region in the bracket that looks like there may not be any first-round upsets. Florida has been playing at an elite level down the stretch, and it doesn’t look like they can be stopped. St. John’s and Texas Tech were slept on heading into the season and are now ready to make a deep run. The upsets will be limited, and this region should give us an exciting Regional Final (Elite Eight) game.

2025 Big Ten Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/12/2025

It’s March. Which means it is time for the Big Ten’s annual NCAA Tournament humiliation. However, before we get to that, the conference should be able to give us one of the most entertaining and unpredictable conference tournaments of Championship Week.

2025 SEC Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/11/2025

The SEC has designs on sending as many as 12 teams to the NCAA Tournament this year. The league is clearly the beneficiary of conference expansion as well as down seasons from the normally dominant ACC and Big Ten. That still doesn’t change the fact that the SEC is loaded with top coaches, star freshmen, and future NBA All-Stars.

2025 Big East Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/11/2025

I am 100 percent biased, thanks to my formative years spent watching my favorite team (and eventual alma mater) Syracuse do battle with the beasts of the east in The Mecca of Basketball. The Big East Tournament is four days of rabid energy, bruising physicality, and relentless intensity, featuring some of the best basketball in the country played amidst the highest of stakes.

2025 Big 12 Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2025

Kansas who? Houston has bullied its way to the top of the Big 12 food chain with back-to-back regular season titles. But if the Cougars are going to truly usurp the Jayhawks as the Big 12’s new standard bearer, they will have to accomplish what Kansas did seemingly every year: win the Big 12 conference tournament.

2025 ACC Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2025

If you thought ACC football sucked in the fall, ACC basketball said, “Hold my beer” this winter. The ACC was awful this hoops season. The bloated 18-team conference, historically the best basketball league in the country, was a disaster from the start of nonconference play. Eleven of the 18 teams are currently rated outside of the Top 85. And as it currently stands, only three teams – Duke, Clemson, and Louisville – are locks to make the NCAA Tournament.

2025 AAC Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2025

I’ll forgive you if you don’t pay attention to American Athletic Conference basketball tournament. Heck, I bet half the people involved in AAC hoops don’t even care that much about AAC hoops. Such is life as a mid-major conference that has seen teams like Connecticut, Louisville, Cincinnati, SMU and Houston come and go through its 12-year history.

Final Four Prop Bets and Predictions for March Madness
by Mike Allen - 4/4/2024

We are just days away now from one of the biggest weekends in sports and sports betting. This year at the Final Four, we have everything. We have the two best teams, a dark horse who plays with a lot of variance, and a true Cinderella story. I am not picking NC State to get past Purdue, nor do I have Alabama penciled in to beat the mighty UConn Huskies. Yes, we have some big point spreads for Saturday, but it's also about the journey.

March Madness Handicapping: Vulnerable No. 1 Seeds in the Sweet 16
by Mike Allen - 3/27/2024

The Sweet 16 is quickly approaching. And, minus 1.5 major upsets, it has been a chalky first couple of rounds. The biggest upset was, of course, the Kentucky Wildcats falling to the Oakland Golden Grizzlies. Outside of that, Texas A&M made a miraculous comeback against the Houston Cougars this past weekend in the round of 32, only to dump every ounce of adrenaline as team members belly-slid onto the court after the game-tying three as time ran out.

Free Sweet 16 Betting Picks and Best Bets
by Mike Allen - 3/26/2024

Are you having fun yet? Who doesn’t like March Madness? I meet people all the time, especially in the combat sports industry, who don’t like ball/team sports. When it’s time to tip off the NCAA Tournament, though, they are calling and messaging with a thousand questions.

Best Underdog Wagers for Sweet 16 Upset Picks
by Mike Allen - 3/26/2024

Who let the dogs out?! I'm asking because we have barely heard any barking. Is it possible we left the fence gate open, and some of these dogs slipped away from us? Oakland was one of those underdogs that most of us probably missed out on, at least until the second round of the tourney when people jumped on the bandwagon a day late and lost money, taking them to beat NC State.

2024 March Madness Bracket Predictions: Midwest Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/21/2024

Sure, there will be some upsets and general insanity throughout the Midwest Region. It’s the NCAA Tournament, after all, and a bit of craziness is to be expected. But when you scan through this part of the bracket it really seems like the most likely to yield a fairly chalky, favorite-laden Elite Eight matchup before sending one of the top seeds to the Final Four.

2024 March Madness Bracket Predictions: West Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/20/2024

Does defense really win championships? We’re going to find out in the West Region of the 2024 NCAA Tournament. The West boasts four of the highest scoring offenses in college basketball. Alabama (90.8), Arizona (89.5), North Carolina (81.6) and Baylor (81.6) all among the Top 25 in the country in points per game.

March Madness Bracket Predictions: Dark Horse Final Four Picks
by Ryan Cobbett - 3/19/2024

Madness is finally upon us. And with that, it is time to finish up your brackets. Year after year, there is a team or two that shatters everyone’s hopes of a perfect bracket. Last year we saw one of the highest aggregate Final Four sums in history, with the defending champion UConn Huskies being the lowest seeded team at four. The average aggregate hovers over nine, However, after last season’s mark, it could be assumed that the transfer portal has been a positive for the higher seeds. Let’s go to each bracket, and I will identify a team that could surprise everyone and make the Final Four and then I will give you two teams who could be this year’s Saint Peter’s.

2024 NIT Tournament Bracket Predictions
by Joey House - 3/19/2024

While March Madness is usually reserved for the 68-team NCAA Tournament, there was a time when the National Invitation Tournament (NIT for short) was the premiere post-season destination for college basketball programs. While it can be disheartening for some programs who believed they should be dancing with the big boys (crazy old Rick Pitino comes to mind), a successful run in the NIT can help catapult a team back into the Madness.

NCAA Tournament: Making Bracket Picks Based on College Basketball Futures Odds
by Ryan Cobbett - 3/19/2024

Colors, Mascots, notable coaches, notable players, alma maters, and statistics are all potential factors when putting together your bracket each year. Some want the help of experts, some pay attention to the numbers, while others depend on memory recall. Is there a perfect formula? No. However, you may find some luck by going game to game and finding favorable matchups or looking at Final Four futures odds. Let’s go region by region and look at some value picks.

2024 Women’s College Basketball NCAA Tournament Bracket Predictions
by Matt Zitt - 3/19/2024

Let the dancing begin! The 2024 women’s NCAA Tournament bracket is here, and games are right around the corner. South Carolina is the heavy favorite after an undefeated regular season and conference tournament in the SEC. The Elite Eight could feature last year’s National Championship Game with Iowa and LSU, if both teams advance that far in what is the hardest region.
