So It Begins...


Let's be honest with each other, you're either one of two people today: (1) the guy hiding in his office watching games on his computer while not even remotely approaching work in any capacity; or, (2) the guy who planned ahead, took the day off, and will be drunk by 3pm. Either way you're watching games and doing very little of anything else. Might as well make some cash in the process, right? Without further ado...

FREE MONEY

Xavier (-8') Georgia's spent. Toast. Finished. See Syracuse from a couple years back. This is the easiest bet for the entire tournament.
Kansas (-22) Kansas as a number one seed destroys their 1st round opponent.
Temple under (136) Sorry, no way these teams play into the 70s.
Duke over (154) Tons of easy looks for Duke and a bunch of Belmont garbage buckets in a pointless 2nd half.
Notre Dame (-6') Not this year George Mason. Too much Irish offense. Double digit win. Easy
USC (-3) Beasley and Walker will get their's, but no guard play will kill K-State.

NOT FREE MONEY, BUT CLOSE

Texas A&M (-1') Look for A&M to dominate inside with DeAndre Jordan and Co.
Arizona over (137') This has shootout written all over it. Look for AZ to fast break WV to death while simultaneously playing little to no defense.
Wisconsin under (137) Whisky isn't going to let the Titans score 60 and Whisky won't go for 80.
UNLV (+2) Yeah, I know I've been chalk heavy up until now. People are sleeping on the Rebels. I'll take the points against an overrated MAC team.

If you're out in Vegas, setup shop early at Mandalay's sportsbook. If not, hit a local bar and eat greasy food until your aorta explodes. Either way just filling out a bracket is no way to go through tourney season. And for those of you who've gone into gambling retirement (see Skeeter Barnes) welcome back. These winners should get your tourney bankroll going.

Anybody else got some more winners? I'm still trying to make up for that f--king stupid 2nd Half Super Bowl over bet.
