I survived the first round of the NCAA tournament, betting $100 on all 32 NCAA tourney games, as well as a thousand dollars on Tennessee’s play-in game against Iowa. The end result? I went 18-14-1 overall, a .5625 win percentage.

Vegas hasn’t beaten me yet, although I am currently pretty hungover as I type this.

So with over half of the bets placed so far, what do my final sixteen picks look like?

Here we go: 

Florida -5.5 vs. Pittsburgh

Saint Louis +10 vs. Louisville

Harvard +7.5 vs. Michigan State

San Diego State -4.5 vs. North Dakota State

 

Wisconsin -5 vs. Oregon

Michigan -4.5 vs. Texas

Dayton +7 vs. Syracuse

Villanova -3.5 vs. UConn 

Sunday’s picks:

Gonzaga +6.5 vs. Arizona

Creighton -2.5 vs. Baylor 

Tennessee -7.5 vs. Mercer

Virginia -6 vs. Memphis

Stanford +6 vs. Kansas

Iowa State -1.5 vs. North Carolina

UCLA -9 vs. Stephen F. Austin

Wichita State -3.5 vs. Kentucky
