2015 NCAA Tournament Bracket Predictions: South Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/18/2015

The teams down South are completely combustible. Duke, Gonzaga and Iowa State have each experienced early-round flameouts in recent NCAA Tournaments and could all be vulnerable. And even after four months it’s tough to get a read just how good Utah, Georgetown and SMU are relative to top-tier teams in other conferences. Mix in the fact that no other region has as many double-digit seeds poised for potential upsets and the South Region is a powder keg ready to blow up many a bracket.

Expert March Madness Bracket Picks: Possible Sweet 16 Surprises
by Aaron Smith - 3/17/2015

The NCAA Tournament gets underway on Tuesday evening with the First Four, but the action gets going in earnest on Thursday afternoon. Productivity at the workplace will be way down on Thursday and Friday as many zone out on office tasks and in on the NCAA Tournament. When betting on the NCAA Tournament, you have to come up with a profitable system and stick to it. Remember, the lines are tighter this time of the year than at any other point during the college basketball season. Because of that, it is often a good idea to try to look to futures and props to find some solid values. These are areas that the average public bettor is less interested in, and that's what makes them easier targets.

NCAA Tournament Brackets Expert Advice: Vulnerable Higher Seeds
by Trevor Whenham - 3/17/2015

Simple math tells us that, according to expectations, we should expect a No. 3 and No. 4 seed in the NCAA tournament to make it as far as the Sweet 16 if everything goes according to form. A No. 2 should make the Elite Eight, and the No. 1 squads should advance to the Final Four. It never works out just like that, of course. When a Top 4 seed falls short of expectations then we have to view them as a disappointment. So, as we turn our thoughts towards NCAA tournament betting, which teams are vulnerable higher seeds this year? Here are four that stand out:

2015 March Madness: Tips for Filling Out NCAA Tournament Bracket
by George Monroy - 3/17/2015

Most people are in the middle of experiencing bracket fever and might be obsessing over which matchups to pick, which top seeds to ride and which underdogs to call out during the next few days. Picking a perfect bracket isn’t an exact science, and sometimes the more you know about college basketball can hurt you. We’ve all been in a work pool where someone who randomly filled out their picks ended up winning the entire thing.

NCAA Tournament Bracket Help: Dangerous Lower Seeds 2015
by Trevor Whenham - 3/17/2015

One of the great things about the NCAA Tournament every year are the Cinderella teams that emerge from seemingly nowhere to win a game or two and get some attention on the national stage. Teams that can pull of these upsets can create some serious profits for bettors — and some glory for people who picked them in their brackets.

2015 March Madness Bracket Picks: West Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/17/2015

Every year there is clearly one NCAA Tournament region that can be considered The Region of Doom (which would be college basketball’s equivalent to the World Cup’s Group of Death). This year the Region of Doom is clearly the West, with two legitimate national title contenders and a host of supremely talented boom-or-bust squads lurking throughout the pods. I think that this is the most difficult bracket in the tournament to predict. But it could also end up being the most entertaining.

2015 March Madness Bracket Predictions: East Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/17/2015

It’s dйjа vu all over again for Villanova and Virginia. Just one season ago they were the top two seeds in the East Region, with Virginia earning the top slot. Flash-forward a year and they are once again: the top two teams in the East and the favorites to advance. However, they are both hoping that things go a little better this time around as Villanova failed to survive last year’s opening weekend and Virginia couldn’t do better than the Sweet 16.

The 2015 NCAA tournament is set to truly begin on Thursday, March 19, at 12:15 p.m. ET when No. 3 Notre Dame tips off against No. 14 Northeastern in the Midwest bracket during the first of 16 games for the day.

March Madness Brackets Advice and Tips: Kentucky’s Road to the National Title
by George Monroy - 3/17/2015

The Kentucky Wildcats are on the verge of becoming the first undefeated team to win a national title since the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers and could firmly place themselves on the table as the greatest college basketball team ever. All that stands in the way between Coach John Calipari’s squad and eternal greatness is six more wins: 240 minutes of perfect basketball and a 40th-straight victory. The accomplishment is probably easier said than done.

2015 NCAA Tournament Facts and Figures for Bracket Help
by Trevor Whenham - 3/17/2015

There are approximately 147,573,952,589,676,412,928 different possible brackets with a 68-team field. Last year Warren Buffett got a whole lot of attention by offering a $1 billion prize for anyone who had a perfect bracket. Needless to say, he wasn’t particularly worried about the risk involved in the offer. Look at it this way — if every person on the planet were to fill out a random bracket, the chances against someone having a correct bracket would still be more than a billion to one.

NCAA Basketball Betting 3-Point Play: Three Interesting Opening Lines Wednesday
by Alan Matthews - 3/17/2015

For the first time in 28 years, a team will play an NCAA Tournament game in its own gym as Dayton hosts Boise State in the last of the First Four games on Wednesday. Why not just make the Flyers a slightly different seed so they don't have that advantage? NCAA Tournament committee chairman Scott Barnes said his group was handcuffed by the rules on that and hinted they might be changed going forward. “It is the last four teams selected [in the First Four], rather than last four teams on the seed list,” Barnes said. “That is something we may review in the summertime.”

2015 NCAA Tournament Bracket Picks: Midwest Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/17/2015

I completely understand that The Powers That Be (see: the anti-capitalist fascists that run the whore-outfit known as the “NCAA”) desperately wants to soak the “Can Kentucky go undefeated” storyline for every single penny. TPTB absolutely want the Wildcats to advance to the Final Four and national title game because it would dominate the sports headlines, drive viewership for those games, and ultimately lead to more revenue for the corrupt organization that is responsible for the NCAA Tournament.

North Carolina Tar Heels Odds to Win the 2015 NCAA Tournament with Picks and Predictions
by George Monroy - 3/16/2015

North Carolina ended up with a No. 4 seed in the West Region after a tough defeat against Notre Dame during the ACC championship, yet they may have been rewarded for the loss by being kicked out of Kentucky’s bracket and into a situation where a Sweet 16 appearance and beyond is within reach for the team. The Tar Heels were overwhelmed during the second half of their ACC title game matchup against the Fighting Irish and gave up a 26-3 run which essentially put the game away.

NCAA Basketball Betting 3-Point Play: Three Interesting Opening Lines Tuesday
by Alan Matthews - 3/16/2015

What a better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than with the start of the NCAA Tournament? The First Four kicks off in Dayton on Tuesday, and the First Four might look a bit different after this season. According to reports, NCAA officials may revisit the principle of locking in the last four at-large teams into the First Four after a possible UConn win Sunday would have sent the Huskies into the general at-large field despite being the last team on the bracket.

2015 NCAA Basketball National Championship Contenders with Futures Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 3/16/2015

The brackets have been set for this season’s NCAA Tournament with 68 teams vying for a national title. Since half that field will be gone by the end of this Friday’s action and there will only be 16 teams left standing when Sunday’s games are decided, there is a huge difference between a team that is in this tournament as opposed to one that has a legitimate shot at winning it.
