Well, after my impressive Elite 8 predictions (not only were 3 of 4 were correct but their final scores were predicted within a few points), I have to write a follow-up column for the Final Four.  By the way, I absolutely loving seeing that the Butler Bulldogs are favored to make it to the national title game.  Incredible!  [...]

It’s getting down to crunch time in the tournament, so I will start featuring in-depth analysis about all the upcoming games. West Regional Final: Butler 65, Kansas State 64- After this amazing tournament, at least one mid-major has to make it to the final 4 don’t they?  I predict Gordon Hayward hits a buzzer-beater to win this one for [...]

Sorry that I keep feeding you lines from the smaller tourneys, but the Big Dance has been so crazy this year that I just can’t find any lines that I can predict with any confidence.  Saint Louis (+9.5) vs. VCU- I can predict with confidence, however, that the Billikens will cover in this game.  Expect [...]

Saint Louis (-4.0) vs. Princeton- Despite the Ivy League’s surprising postseason success, the Billikens are the best team in this tourney and should roll into next week’s Best of 3 final. CBI Record: 1-0, Overall Season Record: 48-39

These spreads are based on the current lines according to the World Sports Exchange, and they are ordered from most confident to least confident. Cornell (+4.0) vs. Wisconsin- I don’t think Cornell loses this game, and if they do it’s going to be close.  The bottom line is that if the Badgers can only beat [...]

Here it is folks.  I’ve provided two links to my NCAA tournament bracket in case one of the links is down when you try to access it.  I hope some of you are inspired by my shocking first round upset picks where I have six 13 and 14 seeds advancing.  In fact, I’m willing to [...]

These spreads are based on the current lines according to the World Sports Exchange.  I have also broken them down by their respective tournament providing one pick for each.  All of theses games will be played on Wednesday with the exception of tonight’s play-in game. NCAA Opening Round Game Winthrop (-3.0) vs. Arkansas Pine-Bluff- All [...]

Without giving too much away about the games I’ve picked in my bracket, here are  ten recommended lines for this weekend’s first round games.  These spreads are based on the current lines according to the World Sports Exchange, and they are ordered from most confident to least confident. Wofford (+9.0) vs. Wisconsin- I absolutely love this [...]

The results are in and according to the  bracket project matrix I finished tied for 18th in the country, well ahead of  the perennially overrated Joe Lunardi who finished a disappointing 56th in the same standings.  I guess this means that next year I can have my own hour show to release my bracket predictions [...]

One pick for you on the Selection Sunday that will be the most stressful of my lifetime.  I will be cheering desperately for Kentucky and Ohio State to win so that my Deacs will be able to dance. Mississippi State (+7.5) vs. Kentucky- This might be a good line under normal circumstances, but in case you haven’t noticed, [...]

These spreads are based on the current lines according to the World Sports Exchange, and they are ordered from most confident to least confident.
