It looks like I made a big mistake- I recently moved to Providence and was supposed to go to my first Providence basketball game last night against Villanova, but I opted to see Providence play Seton Hall next week because it was cheaper. A shame that I missed last night's thriller, hopefully the game next week is just as entertaining. The Friars move up to an 8 seed in today's projection, while Villanova falls to the 3rd 1 seed. If they lose to Xavier on Saturday, I might move them down to a 2. Two games I'm looking forward to tonight- Cincinnati @ Houston, as the Bearcats face their toughest challenge yet in the American, and Ohio State @ Penn State, as a Michigan State fan I'm pulling for the Nittany Lions so MSU can take a share of the Big Ten title.

1: Virginia, Xavier, Villanova, Purdue
2: Auburn, Kansas, Cincinnati, Duke
3: Texas Tech, Michigan State, North Carolina, Tennessee
4: Clemson, Ohio State, Arizona, West Virginia
5: Rhode Island, Gonzaga, Oklahoma, Missouri
6: Wichita State, Creighton, Kentucky, Florida State
7: Texas A&M, Nevada, Florida, Alabama
8: St. Mary's, Miami (FL), Arizona State, Providence
9: Virginia Tech, Seton Hall, TCU, Houston
10: Louisville, Michigan, Kansas State, Arkansas
11: North Carolina State, Middle Tennessee, Butler, (USC/LSU)
12: (Georgia/Texas), New Mexico State, Loyola Chicago, Vermont
13: Louisiana, Buffalo, Murray State, Montana
14: East Tennessee State, South Dakota State, Northern Kentucky, UC Santa Barbara
15: Bucknell, Florida Gulf Coast, Charleston, Rider
16: Wagner, Penn, (Nicholls State/UNC Asheville), (Savannah State/Arkansas-Pine Bluff)

First Four Out: Washington, UCLA, Baylor, Marquette
Next Four Out: Syracuse, Nebraska, St. Bonaventure, Boise State
In Consideration: Utah, New Mexico State, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, Temple, Loyola Chicago, Western Kentucky, South Carolina
On the Brink: Notre Dame, BYU, Boston College, Colorado, Louisiana, SMU, Oregon, UCF

Well, in the unlikely event that there is an NCAA tournament, here's my projection for it. Stanford really hurt themselves with their loss to Cal, their SOR is almost unprecedentedly bad for an at-large team. Xavier made things really interesting with a loss to DePaul, they're my last team in. Also out west, Colorado continued a massive slide with a loss to Washington State. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers, USC 9: Marquette, Colorado, LSU, Providence 10: Florida, Indiana,  East Tennessee State , Texas Tech 11: Wichita State,  Utah State , Arizona State, (Richmond/Cincinnati) 12: (Texa...

NFL Picks: Week 1

NFL Picks Week 1: -$1810 My NFL Picks were my most popular feature last year, so I'm bringing them back for 2013. Like last year, my picks will be posted gradually during the week because I type them up on my commute. Here we go! Game 1: Baltimore @ Denver -8.5 This is the first time in a while that the defending Super Bowl champs haven't opened at home, which could play in to the Raven's psyche here. Denver is out for blood after being eliminated by the Ravens last year in the divisional round. I'm picking line value, not the spot, here so I'm going Baltimore for 2. Baltimore +8.5 (3 units) -$330 Game 2: New England @ Buffalo +10 New England has been the center of focus this offseason, between Aaron Hernandez and Tim Tebow. However, Tom Brady is still an elite quarterback, and he can make plays even with Hernandez and Gronk out. The Bills have perhaps the murkiest QB situation in the league with Manuel and Tuel. I'm tempted to lay units on New England...
