Arizona Wildcats +4200 (risk $100 to win $4200) - No one thought these guys would make it this far and I highly doubt they give Louisville anything they can’t handle, but if your a Wildcat faithful and still drunk and absolutely have to make a play on them only throw down $10 to win $420.

Connecticut Huskies +540 (risk $100 to win $540) – While I do have UConn going to the Elite 8 I have put all my trust in Memphis to serve them up a big fat loss.

Duke Blue Devils +1200 (risk $100 to win $1200) – This is a tough pick.  In my bracket I like Villy to pump them this round and with the odds pretty similar and the spread only favoring Duke by 2.5 I got to go with my gut and believe that there is a reason Duke did not receive all the hype they usually do.  

Gonzaga Bulldogs +1500 (risk $100 to win $1500) – This may sound crazy but I am going with my boys from Northeastern Washington over UNC for the lone fact that there has got to be an upset of a #1 seed sooner rather than later.

Kansas Jayhawks +2200 (risk $100 to win $2200) -  I thought these guys were the defending champs???  They almost got booted in the first round.  Don’t waste the time or money even thinking about them.  Michigan State will make quick work of them.

Louisville Cardinals +320 (risk $100 to win $320) -  There is still significant value at +320 and I thought that they should have been the overall #1 at the beginning of the tourney, with the same odds as UNC to win it all you have to throw something down on them, because after they beat up Arizona you can expect these odds to fall through the floor.  Get the value while you can! 

Memphis Tigers +540 (risk $100 to win $540) -  “Your my boy BLUE!!!”  As in Memphis blue, not only will they thump Missouri, but they are shoeins for the Final Four.  The value is enough to garner a medium bet with a nice payoff.

Michigan State Spartans +1800 (risk $100 to win $1800) – Why are the Spartans getting no love???  They will ultimately lose to Louisville, but show some respect because these guys got game.

Missouri Tigers +2600 (risk $100 to win $2600) – Hmmm…Tigers vs Tigers, I think I am going with a Basketball school over a Football school.  GO Tigers!!! Memphis that is….

North Carolina Tar Heels +320 (risk $100 to win $320) – I will never be able to convince anyone that UNC is going down against Gonzaga, but I am saying it anyways.  It would be good for College Basketball and REALLY good for my bracket.

Oklahoma Sooners +1200 (risk $100 to win $1200) – I did like Oklahoma, but not against Cuse.  Don’t even bother.

Pittsburgh Panthers +480 (risk $100 to win $480) -  I didn’t think these guys would make it this far and be the first #1 seed to fall.  Now it seems they have caught a second wind and are making a case, but the value on them is not enough warrant a bet from me, but I know all you Terrible Towlies are still high from the Superbowl will be pulling for them so go ahead and waste your money.

Purdue Boilermakers +3500 (risk $100 to win $3500) -  Purdue?  Nuff said…

Syracuse Orangemen +1200 (risk $100 to win $1200) -  The Orangemen are my dark horse to make trouble in the Southern Region and while I don’t like them to win the tourney, I do like them to make the final four.

Villanova Wildcats +1800 (risk $100 to win $1800) -  I am shocked by this.  Villy is alot better than they are getting credit for and actually I have them going to the Final Four which is going to take some work, but I knwo they have it in them.  The value on this is too good to pass up and it deserves at least a $20 fun bet with returns of $360.

Xavier Musketeers +4200 (risk $100 to win $4200) – I think the saying goes, “All for one and none for Xavier!”  If you have $5 left in your account and you can’t stand having a balance then throw down $5 to win $210.
