NCAA March Madness: Final Four 2018-2019

Our Elite Eight picks went 3-1 SU; 2-2 ATS, to date 9-3 SU; 8-4 ATS.  Our pre-tournment lean was towards a Gonzaga - Michigan State final, but the Red Raiders put the Bulldogs down.

So far favs or chalk are on the short end, prevailing only in the 1st4 and round of 32. Favorites by round: 1st4 (3-1); 64 (11-21); 32 (11-5); 16 (3-5); 8 (1-3); 4 (0-0); total 29-35.  Texas Tech and Auburn are the red hot dogs right now.

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.
