When making your March Madness office pool picks, consider the teams carefully.  The Cincinnati Bearcats, for example, are looking to have home court advantage throughout much of the tournament provided they can continue to advance.  Their odds of winning the Championship pay $90 for every $10 bet.

Why They Go Deep

Cincinnati has home court advantage playing a little under two hours away in Columbus and likely will make it to the 2nd round where they would have to face off against number one two Tennessee.  That home court advantage might not be enough to get the Bearcats past Tennessee, the later of which would likely be listed at -3.  If they can somehow advance into the Sweet 16, Cincinnati continues to have home court advantage with Louisville even closer than Columbus.

In addition to ranking No. 2 nationally in defensive efficiency, behind only Virginia, this Bearcats team has four players averaging in double figures.  Those are some dangerous ingredients. 

Why Be Concerned

The Bearcats score only 30 percent of their points from 3s and play at one of the 35 slowest tempos in college basketball. If Cincinnati gets behind, it lacks the quick scoring punch to make up a deficit.  This is good to know when betting in-play. 

Who They Will Play

Iowa and probably Tennessee.

Sixers? Knicks? Who Can Challenge Boston in the East this Season?

As the new NBA season gets underway, there is most certainly a sense that the Boston Celtics are the team to beat once again. The 18-time champions really took an “if it’s not broken, don’t try to fix it” policy in the offseason, and it’s hard to argue with the tactic.
