Bracketology is back!

-
My bracketology is back! I should be updating my bracket 2-3 times a week (hopefully more.) I'll also be listed in the Bracket Matrix ( http://bracketproject.50webs.com/matrix.htm ) this year. If I have time tonight, I'll add a full bracket (with 1st+2nd round sites). But for now, here's a seed list. The seed list snakes, meaning that the best team on odd lines is on the left and the best team on even lines is on the right. This means you can read straight down a column to see a 16-team region. If there's a glaring mistake, please notify me in the comments. This bracket is dated 1/11/12 which means it includes Tuesday's games. 1 North Carolina, Syracuse, Kentucky, Michigan State 2 Kansas, Baylor, Duke, Indiana 3 Georgetown, Ohio State, UNLV, Missouri 4 Michigan, Gonzaga, Kansas State, Connecticut 5 Seton Hall, Florida, Murray State, Vanderbilt 6 Marquette, Virginia, Creighton, Illinois 7 Louisville, San Diego State, Alabama, Mississippi State 8 Wisconsin, West V...

Bracketology 3/12/20

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...
