Favorites by round: 1st4 (3-1); 64 (11-21); 32 (11-5); 16 (3-5); 8 (1-3); 4 (1-2); total 30-37.

FYI, in April to win the Championship, the favorite Duke 5-1; at tournament open 2.25 to 1.  The finalists, Virginia 15-1; 5 to 1, and current 1.83 to 1, while the Red Raiders were 40 to 1; 25 to 1, and current 2 to 1 - Action Network

We have not made any picks since our amazing NFL late season comeback.  We are making these NCAA men's picks without prior knowledge of the results, injuries or suspensions.

Versus the spread, we are taking the team with the number.  SU = straight up, if we think the favorite will win but not cover the number.  

As always we reserve the right to shop and take the best line available. Correct picks in bold with underline. Enjoy.
