2013 MLB Team Preview: Detroit Tigers
The Tigers came close last year, making it all the way to the World Series before running into a Giants team that wouldn’t be denied.

La Salle vs Wichita State March Madness Betting!
I have long admired the Shockers program and I thought they would play well but I just didn’t see how they would beat Gonzaga. Even if they were able to shorten the game a little bit and play their guts out I still thought they would come up just a little bit short.
Ole Miss vs La Salle March Madness Betting!
Ole Miss continued their spirited play, upsetting the Badgers in their opening round game of the tournament.
Cyclones vs Buckeyes West Region Spread/Handicapping
The Buckeyes were happy to let Iona set the pace and beat them at their own game, winning by 25 while scoring 95 points in their opener. Don’t let that number fool you as they are far from an elite offensive team.
Rams vs Cardinals MidWest Region Spread/Handicapping
Louisville was Russdiculous in their tournament opener beating overmatched North Carolina A&T by 31 points.
Crimson vs Wildcats East Region Spread/Handicapping
Despite Belmont being a perennial Cinderella pick, the Arizona Wildcats had little trouble dispatching them in their opening round game.
Golden Bears vs Orange East Region Spread/Handicapping
The Orange barely broke a sweat in beating Montana on Thursday. They may be a number 4 seed but they played like a one.
Hilltoppers vs Jayhawks East Region Spread/Handicapping
I was a little surprised that Kansas received the #1 seed but their resume passes the test. Another season, another regular season title (shared) and conference tournament title.
Demons vs Gators South Region Spread/Handicapping
At one point Florida was in the conversation about the best teams in the nation. They sputtered for a while though which is why they have only a #3 next to their name. There were clearly the best team in the SEC but that might not be saying all that much, especially after they lost in the SEC tourney final to Ole Miss.
Tigers vs Hurricanes East Region Spread/Handicapping
There has never been hoops expectations like there are in Miami this year. A team that was considered middle of the pack went on to win regular season and tournament ACC titles to earn a #2 seed.
Great Danes vs Blue Devils MidWest Region Spread/Handicapping
The Blue Devils made an early exit from the ACC tournament but it didn’t damage their profile too much as they are still a #2 seed.
Tigers vs Rams MidWest Region Spread/Handicapping
The Rams are riding the Mountain West Conference wave this year. They had another very good season losing just 8 games all season long and finishing second in the MWC.
Panthers vs Shockers West Region Spread/Handicapping
All of the advanced metrics say that this Pittsburgh team is really good. They aren’t horrible but I just don’t see it. What I do see is a team that is better than average in the deepest conference in America. They have a few nice wins but this is probably one of the least impressive Pitt teams of the past decade.
Broncos vs Explorers Play In Game Spread/Handicapping
They are not as good as the football team but the basketball Broncos are better than you think. They were a very good 12-2 in the nonconference part of their schedule including an impressive win at Creighton that wasn’t even close.
WEST REGION PREDICTIONS – 2013 NCAA Tournament Free Picks & Sleepers
Basketball in the West often gets a bad wrap. They aren’t all in this region but teams from the PAC 12, MWC, WCC and pretty well represented. Heck one of them even got a #1 seed. For me this is the lightest bracket of them all and not because Gonzaga is at the top.
2013 Underdogs – NCAA Tournamant Upset Picks
It isn’t March Madness unless there are some upsets. Funnily enough this is where the Vegas set is often ahead of the game, making high number seeds the favourite in some situations.All the predictions below are based on seed number upsets not any sort of power rankings.
