2026 UFL Betting Preview

Welcome to the third season of the UFL, which includes eight teams and 10 weeks of regular-season action. The season starts on Friday, March 27 and the top four teams make the playoffs. The championship game is on June 13 and will be televised on ABC.

There are many changes this season, including the relocation of the Michigan Panthers to Columbus and they will be known as the Aviators. The Memphis Showboats have also relocated to Kentucky, where they will be known as the Louisville Kings. The San Antonio Brahmas have also moved to Orlando and will be known as the Storm. Houston was known as the Roughnecks last season and will now be rebranded as the Gamblers.

There are also changes in the coaching ranks as former Alabama QB A.J. McCarron takes over as head coach for the Birmingham Stallions. More former NFL players are head coaches including Ted Ginn Jr. at Columbus, Chris Redman at Louisville, Anthony Becht at Orlando and Ricky Proehl will lead St. Louis. Longtime college coach Rick Neuheisel takes over in Dallas.

Speaking of changes, there are some significant rule changes.

1)No Tush Push.

2)Every field goal from 60 yards or more will count as four points.

3)Teams cannot punt inside the opponent’s 50-yard line unless it’s the final two minutes of the half or the game.

4)Players can now get one foot inbounds to complete a catch instead of two.

5)Teams can opt for an extra point from the 33-yard line, a two-point try from the 2-yard line or a 3-point try from the 8-yard line.

Here are the future odds (from Draft Kings) to win the UFL title

Birmingham Stallions +340

D.C. Defenders +360

Dallas Renegades +500

Orlando Storm +550

Columbus Aviators +600

St. Louis Battlehawks +700

Louisville Kings +1200

Houston Gamblers +1700

Last season, the D.C. Defenders were led by interim head coach Shannon Harris, who took over because Reggie Barlow left to become head coach of Tennessee State. Harris is back after leading the Defenders to the 2025 UFL championship. The Defenders are led by QB Jordan T’amu, who threw for 2,153 yards with 17 TDs and just four picks. He also had 390 yards and four TDs in the championship win over Michigan.  Edge Derrick Roberson has tallied 10 sacks over the last two seasons.

Birmingham has inexperience at head coach in McCarron and as the OC in Tyler Siskey. But they have talent at receiver led by John Ross, Laviska Shenault and Deon Cain. On the defensive side, CB Steven Gilmore and LB Kyahva Tezino lead the way.

Columbus has former Ohio State WR Ginn Jr. as their head coach. His play-caller is veteran OC Todd Haley and will have QB Jalan McClendon and WRs Devin Ross and Jaylon Moore to deal with. Defensively, they have a 10-year NFL veteran at DC in Captain Munnerlyn.

The Dallas Renegades are coached by longtime college coach Rick Neuheisel. Luis Perez is back at quarterback along with All-UFL WR Tyler Vaughns, so Nueheisel has plenty to work with. But their defense might be the best in the NFL led by former first-round pick Taco Charlton and 2025 INT leader Ajene Harris.

Houston and coach Kevin Sumlin have some playmakers in Kai Locksley, Justin Hall and Jontre Kirklin. The key will be at quarterback where Nolan Henderson and newly-added Taulia Tagovailoa will battle it out.

Louisville has a former NFL quarterback in Redman, who also played with the Cardinals. He has a dual-threat QB in Jason Bean. Benny Snell Jr. is a former NFLer and they have a deep group of receivers.

Orlando brings back former Jets’ TE and St. Louis head man Anthony Becht as head coach, where he was 22-10 in two seasons. He also has a talented quarterback in Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a strong WR in K.J. Hamler. Lamar Jackson (not the QB) is their top cornerback.

St. Louis adds another former NFLer in Proehl. He’ll have Brandon Silvers, a spring veteran at quarterback. This is a town that does not have an NFL team anymore, but they really support the Battlehawks, averaging over 30,000 fans.

2026 Baseball Betting Predictions

Baseball starts on Wednesday night and that’s an underrated betting opportunity for sharps out there. The key to wagering on baseball is money management. Picking favorites of -150 or more is not a wise choice. But considering there are 162 games and as many as 15 games per day, you have plenty of opportunities to find good values on a money line, run line or a total. Also, it’s a long season. Pace yourself, don’t get frustrated by losing streaks and don’t chase losses.

Here are my predictions in order of Divisions with last year’s record, money line profit, totals record and odds to win the World Series (from DK).

Sweet 16 Preview-Friday version. 

(KenPom: ORTG: Adjusted Offensive Rating; DRTG: Adjusted Defensive Rating; ADJT: Adjusted Tempo; SOS: Strength of Schedule; NCSOS: Non-conference strength of schedule; TeamRankings.com=Effective Field Goal%). Odds: from DraftKings. Seeds are in parentheses.

Friday

East Region, Washington D.C, 7:10pmET

1)Duke: 34-2, 19-16 ATS, 17-1 ACC, KenPom: 2, ORTG: 7th, DRTG: 1st: ADJT: 281, SOS NET: 22nd; NCSOS: 18th; Team Effective Field Goal%: 56.6% (16^th). Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 45.9% (10^th); Total Rebounding %: 57.9% (4^th). NCAA Tournament Odds: +425

VS.

(5) St. John’s 30-6, 20-15 ATS, 18-2 BEast; KenPom: 14 ; ORTG: 44; DRTG: 9; ADJT: 68; SOS NET: 45; NCSOS Rating:44; Team Effective Field Goal%: 51.1%(189^th); Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 47.2% (23rd); Total Rebounding %: 52.7% (33^rd). NCAA Tournament Odds: +3000

Analysis: The Johnnies had the tougher road as the 5^th seed, destroying Northern Iowa by 26 and then edging Kansas on Sunday by two on a last-second layup from Dylan Darling. Duke’s toughest game came on Thursday when they had to come back from double digits to beat No. 16 Siena 71-65. They dominated TCU 81-58 thanks to 19 points and 11 rebounds from Cam Boozer. Center Patrick Ngongba II returned from missing the Siena game due to injury and played just 13 minutes due to foul trouble. This is a matchup of the nation’s top power forwards. Boozer is a double-double machine, but has some defensive issues that can be assisted by Ngongba II. Zuby Ejiofor is a beast down low and is also a defensive specialist. Duke is still expected to miss guard Caleb Foster (foot) for this game. Were the Johnnies underseeded at five due to the lackluster Big East?

Midwest, 10:10pmET, Chicago

(2) Iowa State 29-7, 23-13 ATS, 12-6 B12; KenPom: 6; ORTG: 16th; DRTG: 5th; ADJT: 205th; SOS NET: 33rd ; NCSOS Rating: 279th; Team Effective Field Goal%: 56.6% (15^th); Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 49.4% (82^nd),  Total Rebounding %: 53.7% (25^th). NCAA Tournament Odds: +1500

VS.

(6) Tennessee 24-11, 15-19 ATS, 11-7 SEC;  KenPom: 14 ; ORTG: 31; DRTG: 13; ADJT: 306; SOS NET: 9; NCSOS Rating: 10; Team Effective Field Goal%: 51.8% (159th),  Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 47.5% (34^th); Total Rebounding %: 58.9% (2^nd); NCAA Tournament Odds: +5500

Analysis: Iowa State has been one of the best teams in the nation all season, but they lost star forward Joshua Jefferson in their easy opening win over Tennessee State (108-74). The biggest question whether an extra four days of rest will be enough to heal his ankle by Friday. They didn’t need him in their win over Kentucky as they won by nine and Nate Heise (4.4ppg) stepped up with 12 points and three assists. Guard Tamin Lipsey (26pts, 10apg, 5stls) was fantastic against a pretty good Kentucky team that was just harassed by a great defense that forced 19 turnovers. The Vols had an easy time with a good Miami-Ohio team (78-56) and then edged No. 3 Virginia 79-72 on Sunday. Guard Ja’Kobi Gillespie led the way with 21 points and six assists. Tennessee will have its work cut out for them if Jefferson plays because he leads in points and rebounds and is second in assists. The Vols have some talented players, including long freshman wing Nate Ament, but they’ll need to defend and outrebound the Cyclones to advance.

Midwest Region, 7:35pmET, Alabama vs. Michigan

(4) Alabama 25-9, 16-18 ATS, 13-5 SEC; KenPom: 12; ORTG: 3; DRTG: 60; ADJT: 4; SOS NET: 2; NCSOS Rating: 9; Team Effective Field Goal%: 55.5% (30th); Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 48.9% (65^th); Total Rebound %: 50.8% (136). NCAA Tournament Odds: +13000

VS.

1)Michigan: 33-3, 16-20 ATS, 19-1 B10, KenPom: 1, ORTG: 6^th; DRTG: 2nd; ADJT: 22, SOS NET: 4; NCSOS: 12; Team Effective Field Goal%: 58.7% (7^th); Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 45.2% (3rd); Total Rebound % 56.4% (8^th).  NCAA Tournament Odds: +340

Analysis:  Alabama has been one of the most impressive teams thus far, crushing Hofstra by 20 in their opener and dominating No. 5 Texas Tech 90-65 on Sunday. Their depth is outstanding because they lost second-leading scorer Aiden Holloway to a felony drug charge. Guard LaBaron Philon (21.7ppg, 4.7apg. 40.2% 3pt) had 29 against Hofstra and then was held to nine points against Texas Tech, but also had 12 assists. They’ll need to push the tempo against a huge Michigan team that dominated Howard by 21 and Saint Louis by 23 in the round of 32. The Wolverines have a 7-foot-3 center in Aday Mara, who averages 11.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.6 blocks. Their best payer is All-American Yaxel Lendeborg, who can beat you from the perimeter, in the paint and disrupt teams defensively. The Tide need to not only keep up with Michigan on the boards, but their defense (120^th in FG%) has to step up.

East, Washington D.C., 9:45pmET

(3) Michigan State 27-7, 19-15 ATS, 15-5 B10; KenPom: 9; ORTG: 22; DRTG: 13; ADJT: 243; SOS NET: 20; NCSOS Rating: 93; Team Effective Field Goal%: 54.61 (66^tu), Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 48.7% (53^rd); Total Rebound %: 58.4% (3^rd). NCAA Tournament Odds: +3000

VS.

2) Connecticut (UConn) 31-5, 14-22 ATS, 17-3 BEast; KenPom: 1-; ORTG: 30; DRTG: 11; ADJT: 322; SOS NET: 36; NCSOS Rating: 32; Team Effective Field Goal%: 55.3% (35^th);  Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 45.8% (8^th), Total Rebound %: 54.7% (17^th). NCAA Tournament Odds: +2500

Analysis: Both teams are considered threats, but not favorites, when it comes to winning the title. UConn is always a threat with Danny Hurley as a coach. They were not impressive in wins over No. 15 Furman by 11 and had a late run against UCLA, to crush them 73-57. Forward Alex Karaban went nuts with a career-high 27 points, but the key was freshman Braylon Mullins, who averages 12 points per game, but had scored in single digits in four of his last eight games. Michigan State is led by 71-year-old Tom Izzo, who hasn’t lost his touch with strong rebounding teams and solid defensive squads. They had no problem with North Dakota State in the opening round by 25 and held on to beat Louisville 77-69 in the next round. Sparty has size usual, but to get to the Final Four, they have strong play from PG Jeremy Fears Jr, who leads the nation in assists with 9.4 per game. The difference here could be three-point shooting, as both teams are solid, but not great. Both are also very good on the boards.

Sweet 16 Preview-Thursday version. 

Thursday, March 26

West Region, 9:45pmET from San Jose

(3) Illinois 26-8, 19-15 ATS, 15-5 B10, KenPom: 6;  ORTG: 2nd ; DRTG: 24th; ADJT: 276; SOS NET: 23rd; NCSOS Rating: 90th; Team Effective Field Goal%: 55.3% (35th); Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 47.5% (33rd). Total Rebound %: 57.1% (7^th) NCAA Tournament Odds: +1700

VS.

(2) Houston 30-6, 18-18 ATS, 14-4 B12. KenPom: 4; ORTG: 11; DRTG: 4; ADJT: 351. SOS NET: 25; NCSOS Rating: 157. Team Effective Field Goal%: 52.2% (143rd). Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 46.0% (14th). Total Rebound %: 52.7% (43^rd).  NCAA Tournament Odds: +900

Analysis:

This is going to be a physical game. Illinois averages 84.7 points per game and can score inside or out. They’ve made 11 three-pointers per game to rank 9^th in the nation. Houston can defend the three (31.4%) and is an elite defensive team overall (39.5% FG). However, can they make enough shots? That’s always the question, but they may have the best player on the floor in freshman Kingston Flemings. Illinois also has a slight rebounding percentage. Illinois dominated VCU (76-55) and Penn (105-70) to get here. Houston also had no issues with Idaho (78-47) and dominated Texas A&M 88-57 to reach another Sweet 16. The Cougars have the experience led by Emmanuel Sharp, who has played 142 games. The Illini have tremendous size led by the Ivisic brothers and a veteran guard in Kylan Boswell.

South Region, San Jose, 7:10pmET

(11) Texas 21-14, 19-15 ATS, 9-9 SEC;  KenPom: 32; ORTG: 15; DRTG: 81; ADJT: 222; SOS NET:11; NCSOS Rating: 320; Team Effective Field Goal%: 53.9% (71st); Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 50.7% (142nd); Total Rebound %: 54.6% (17^th). NCAA Tournament Odds: +25000

VS.

(2) Purdue 29-8, 17-20 ATS, 13-7 B10 KenPom: 8; ORTG: 1st; DRTG: 34; ADJT: 324; SOS NET: 6th; NCSOS Rating: 48th; Team Effective Field Goal%: 58.1% (10^th); Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 52.3% (230th). Total Rebound %: 55.8% (9^th). NCAA Tournament Odds: +1200

Analysis: It’s tough to picture Texas as a Cinderella, but as the 11^th seed, they’ve had the most difficult road to reach the Sweet 16. They earned that seed by losing three straight and five of six coming into this NCAA Tournament. They had to edge NC State by two in the First Four, followed by a 79-71 win over BYU on Thursday. On Saturday, they upset Gonzaga by six. Purdue dominated Queens College by 33, before getting by Miami-Fla on Sunday by 10. Purdue is a very efficient offensive team led by pick-and-roll monster guard Braden Smith, who is the all-time assist leader. When they are making threes, they are tough to beat, but they have defensive issues. The Boilermakers allow teams to shoot 44.6% (194^th) from the field and 33.94% (219^th) from long range. Texas has similar defensive numbers but they have a head coach in Sean Miller who could be the x-factor here. They also have a forward Dailyn Smith (17.8ppg, 7.6rpg) and Matas Vokietaitis (7-0, 255), who had 17 points and nine rebounds in their win over Gonzaga.

South Region, 7:30pmET, Houston

(5) Iowa 23-12, 20-15 ATS, 10-10 B10; KenPom: 22; ORTG: 26; DRTG: 30; ADJT:361; SOS NET: 31; NCSOS Rating: 336; Team Effective Field Goal%: 56.3% (19^th); Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 52.7% (251^st); Total Rebound %: 51.1% (119^th). NCAA Tournament Odds: +10000

VS

(4) Nebraska 28-6, 19-15 ATS, 15-5 B10; KenPom: 12; ORTG: 49; DRTG: 6; ADJT: 231; SOS NET: 37; NCSOS Rating: 317; Team Effective Field Goal%: 55.6% (27th); Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 47.7% (36^th); Total Rebounding %: 50.3% (165^th). NCAA Tournament Odds: +5000

Analysis: We have a Big 10 matchup between one team that finished .500 (Iowa) and another team that finished tied for second in the regular season (Nebraska). The Cornhuskers had never won an NCAA Tournament in their history before they beat Troy by 29 and Vanderbilt by two on Saturday. Iowa beat Clemson by six on Friday and then stunned Florida 73-72 from Tampa on Sunday. Iowa shot 51% from the field, led by Tavion Banks, who had 20 points, while star guard Bennett Stirtz added 13 points and five assists. The Cornhuskers got here because they defend the three well, ranking 15^th in the nation (29.8%). That will be tested against the Hawkeyes, who shoot 35.3% form beyond the arc and 49% overall. These teams met on March 8 in Lincoln, with the Cornhuskers winning 84-75 in overtime. They also met at Iowa on Feb. 17^th with the Hawkeyes winning 57-52.

West Region, 9:45pmET, Houston

(4) Arkansas 28-8, 23-12 ATS, 13-5 SEC; KenPom: 19; ORTG: 6; DRTG: 53; ADJT: 17; SOS NET: 16; NCSOS Rating: 80; Team Effective Field Goal%: 56.5% (16^th); Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 51.4% (180th); Total Rebounding %: 51.2% (114^th). NCAA Tournament Odds: +3500

VS

(1)  Arizona: 34-2, 21-14 ATS, 16-2 B12, KenPom: 1, ORTG: 4th; DRTG: 3rd; ADJT: 66; SOS NET: 12^th; NCSOS Rating: 102; Team Effective Field Goal%: 54.9% (44^th); Opponent Effective Field Goal%: 44.8% (1st); Total Rebounding %: 57.8% (5^th). NCAA Tournament Odds: +320

Analysis: Arizona is the top seed for a reason. They’ve looked strong in their first two games, dominating LIU by 34 and then beating a tough Utah State team by 12. Arkansas beat Hawaii by 19 and caught a break by facing No. 12 High Point on Saturday. High Point shocked Wisconsin in the first round and then gave the Razorbacks a tough game (94-88), covering the 11.5. The Razorbacks were led by star freshman guard Darius Acuff Jr., who had 36 points and six assists against High Point. Arizona has a rare senior guard in Jaden Bradley, who had 18 points against Utah State. They also have a 7-2, 260-pound beast in the middle in Motiejus Krivas, who had 11 points, 14 rebounds, and three blocks against the Aggies. John Calipari loves a challenge, and he has one here against one of the best defenses in the nation and an elite rebounding team. Arkansas can shoot the three (38.3%) and will need to use its high-octane offense to get the upset.

What an opening day for the NCAA Tournament on Thursday. Dogs were 11-5 on Thursday and four double-digit seeds won outright. Of course, the biggest upset didn’t happen, but No. 16 Siena covered easily and lost by just six points on Thursday.

The biggest upset was No. 12 High Point defeating No. 5 Wisconsin by one. But when it comes to the NCAA Tournament, the best teams are usually the end. The one team I’d be very worried about is Duke without Patrick Ngongba II, who is their rim protector and might not player in their next round against TCU. Duke looked lost without him against No. 16 Siena defensively as Cam Boozer was exposed defensively in the paint.

Here are some things to ponder today and in the second round.

*Public Overreaction to Upsets: Underdog wins round 1 and the public money floods them in round 2.

*Line Movement: Lines move extremely fast during Tournament Play due to massive volume.

*Betting Too Many Games: You don’t need to bet every game. Be VERY selective.

*Falling for Media Narratives: Sportsbooks know narratives drive bets and often shade lines accordingly.

*Upsets are normal and it happens every year so don’t panic and think that every 12 is going to win outright.

If you’re taking a look at future bets for the NCAA Tournament, including by Region, Final Four or Championship, it’s easy to just pick chalk. But top seeds don’t always make the Final Four. In terms of Final Fours, the number one seed has made 66 trips, the number two seed has made 32 trips, the number three seed has made 17, and the number four seed has made 15 trips.

Let’s take a look at some good value picks to win each region (from DraftKings).

East Region

St. John’s (+900). Rick Pitino is still one of the best coaches in the nation. Give him time to prepare as the 17th-ranked KenPom team and he will have his team ready.

Midwest Region

Iowa State +245.  The Cyclones are 4th in Adjusted Defensive Rating.  They play in the first tough Big 12 and have 27 wins. They can beat anybody in the nation. Michigan at -130 is also a little bit susceptible with backup point guard LJ Cason out.

South Region

Vanderbilt +1100. They looked like they could win the whole thing before losing to Arkansas in the SEC Tournament. They have outstanding guard play and that’s always important at this time of the year.

West Region

Arkansas +1100. John Calipari is another coach like Pitino who knows how to get it done in the postseason. He also has one of the best guards in the nation in Darius Acuff Jr.

When it comes to betting ont the NCAA Tournament or just picking games in a bracket, it’s crucial to know which key players are out due to injury or other issues.

Let’s take a look at the latest injuries as we head to the big day on Thursday.

Alabama: G Aden Holloway (legal) is doubtful. Averages 16.8 points per game. 

Arkansas: F Karter Knox (knee) is averaging 8.1 points and 4.5 rebounds. There’s an outside chance that he plays in the NCAA Tournament.  

BYU: Wing Richie Saunders (ACL) has been out since Feb. 14. He was averaging 18 points per game and shooting 38% of his three-point attempts.

Clemson:  C Carter Welling (ACL) was injured in the ACC Tournament. He was averaging 10.2 points and 5.4 rebounds. 

Duke: G Caleb Foster fractured his foot against North Carolina in the regular-season finale. The junior is averaging 8.5 points and 2.8 assists. He’s also known for his defense. He’s not likely to play in this tournament but possibly could return if they make the Final Four. C Patrick Ngongba III (foot) is their top interior defender. He has a better chance of returning than Foster. 

Gonzaga: F Braden Huff (knee) has not played since mid-January. The 6-10 junior was averaging 17.8 points and 5.6 rebounds. He’s not likely to play this week, but could if the Zags advance. 

Kentucky: Sophomore Jayden Quaintance (knee soreness). The outstanding defender has played in just four games this season but he could make an appearance in the tournament. 

Louisville: Star guard Mikel Brown (back) will miss their first game against USF and their next game if they advance. The 6-5 point guard was averaging 18.2 points and 4.7 assists.

Michigan: G L.J. Cason (ACL) was injured in a late February win. He was one of the best backup guards in the nation, averaging 8.4 points in 18.6 minutes. F Yaxel Lendeborg (low ankle sprain) is expected to play, but that’s a situation to keep an eye on.

North Carolina: F Caleb Wilson (right thumb) is out for the season. The 6-10 freshman was averaging 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds. 

Ohio State: G Taison Chatman (groin) is listed as questionable. He’s averaging 7.2 points in 21.5 minutes over his last 13 games.

Penn: G Ethan Roberts (concussion) is questionable. He’s averaging 16.9 points per game. 

Texas Tech: F JT Toppin (ACL) was injured on Feb. 17. The 6-9 forward was averaging 21.8 points and 10.8 rebounds.

UCLA: Donovan Dent (calf) is another injury to monitor. He averages 13.5 points and 7.6 assists. Tyler Bilodeau (knee strain) leads the team in scoring at 17.6 points per game and is available.

UConn: F Jaylin Stewart (knee) is a key bench piece who missed the final six games of the regular season but is likely to miss the first week. G Silas Demary (ankle sprain) averages 10.9 points and 6.2 assists. He’s questionable.

Villanova: F Matt Hodge (ACL) was averaging 92 points and shooting 45.2% from the field. Was injured in early March.

Wisconsin: C Nolan Winter (ankle) is questionable. Has missed the last four games. He’s their best interior defender.

Wagering Strategies for March Madness

There are few events in the world of sports that are as exciting as the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which is held every year starting in mid-March. It consists of 68 of the best Division I men’s basketball teams in the nation (expanded to 68 teams starting in 2011) in a single-elimination tournament that crowns the winning team as the season’s National Champion.  

The most common way to wager on the tournament as a whole is to participate in a bracket pool that awards a set number of points for each correct pick. The person with the most points at the end wins. While these pools can range from wagering a couple of bucks in the local office pool to investing a small fortune in a high-stakes bracket pool, there are a couple of basic things to keep in mind when making your picks.

Keep things in Perspective

The first thing to do is pick the teams that you believe will win the game in each round. This sounds simple enough, but many people get so hung up trying to predict upsets that they forget to pick the winner. Upsets are what make this tournament great, but they are not as prevalent as you may think, and they can be extremely difficult to uncover.

The lowest seed to ever win it all was the 1985 Villanova Wildcats as a No. 8.  In most pools, the points awarded for each round increase as the tournament progresses, so the goal is to advance as many teams as possible to the next round.

Do not go the other extreme and advance every No. 1 and No.2 seed all the way into the Elite Eight. As a general rule, two of the top eight teams will be eliminated by the end of the first weekend of play. Try to uncover the best No. 4 and No. 3 seeds and work them into your final eight teams.  

Always take into consideration a team’s overall record when making your picks. Teams with just a few losses, no matter what conference they come out of, know how to win. They may get seeded a bit lower than they should because of their conference, but this is what makes them a very attractive upset pick. Advancing lower-seeded teams with a high win/low loss total makes the most sense in the first two rounds as this advantage tends to diminish once the field gets pared down to the Sweet 16.

Unless you are playing a bracket pool for the pure fun of it, do your homework before making your picks for the final few rounds, because this is when the points in most pools start to pile up. Once again, your ultimate goal is to advance as many winners as possible so avoid just following suit with the most popular picks. Be sure to closely analyze all the No. 1 seeds to see which one is likely to get tripped up, as well as the No. 4’s and 3’s to find which one is poised to make a run all the way to the championship game.

Plot Your Final Four Picks First:

While it’s fun to try and figure out which teams may pull upsets early on, you’re better off trying to work backwards in the bracket. Look at each region and figure out which teams you might see playing in the Elite Eight, before penciling in which team you see emerging victorious and winding up in the Final Four.  

Do Your Research:

Sure, anyone can sit down and randomly pick teams but if you plan on finishing in the money when it’s all said and done, you must familiarize yourself with the teams. Look and see how teams finished the regular season, as teams that floundered late likely won’t be around long. Home records mean nothing as there are no home games in the tournament. Look at the records for teams on the road and on neutral floors. Keep an eye out on strength of schedule (check sites like KenPom, WarrenNolan, and Net Rankings at NCAA.com) and see how teams fared against other good teams: after all, you’re not going to cut down the nets without beating quality opponents. Also, watch for clashes of style, tempo and systems: a team like Houston, which relies on defense and slowing the pace to a glacial mark, would be a rough matchup if paired against an offensive powerhouse. Research can make or break you and even a little knowledge can go a long way when it comes to the fine line between being a winner and an also-ran.

When you’re getting ready to pick games (ATS) for March Madness, remember a few things in the last three days of the Conference Tournaments. 

1)A team can enter the tournament having won three or four straight games, capturing its conference titles. Does that automatically mean they are the team to bet on? Teams that play on Sunday’s championship games have to fly back later that night. They don’t know their opponent until late Sunday night and they have a day or two to practice.  The fresher teams are the ones that lost earlier in their conference tournaments. They may not have the momentum, but they can rest injured players, and a few days off can help as they prepare for March Madness.

2)The top seeds usually get benefits. That means easier early-round opponents and tournament locations that are closer to home. There is a better path to the Final Four so getting a No. 1 or 2 seed is extremely important.

3)Teams that lose in the conference title game can be undervalued. Power 5 teams are 46-34-2 ATS in the first round after losing the conference title game. Fading conference tournament winners in the first round due to mental and physical fatigue is not a bad idea.

4)Teams that were on the bubble and had deep conference tournament runs are usually figuring things out. They can be very dangerous 9-12 seeds as they have a lot of momentum and confidence heading to the Big Dance.
