March Madness in Full Swing
March Madness has already had some memorable finishes and bracket busting moments, with Friday nights remaining Sweet 16 games, and this weekend's Elite 8 games tipping off on Saturday still yet to come.
Not only is it an exciting time of year for these young men and fans, but this time of year also has a tremendous uptick in volume of sports betting on payperhead websites. The flurry and quantity of games is designed perfectly for gamblers to get their fix, since the Football season has faded away into people's memories like a pleasant sunset on a tropical vacation island.
The biggest upset of the Tournament was in the first round when Middle Tennessee St dominated bracket darling and heavily favored Michigan State. The Blue Raiders led the game from start to finish, and were able to knock of a very talented Michigan State team that many people believed would at least win the Midwest Region. However, after that big upset, the top seeds have shown why they are the top seeds, and have won the majority of the second round and Sweet 16 games.

Thursday was the first night of the Sweet 16, and each of the favorites easily won their match-ups by double digits. The result is that now in both the West and South Region Finals the Number 1 and Number 2 Seed will face off, which should result in two extremely exciting Elite 8 games on Saturday. For anyone looking to get in some early action, the lines are already out with Kansas as -2.5 point favorite over Villanova, and Oregon as a slight -1 point favorite over Oklahoma.
The other number one seeds from the Midwest and East Region are also still alive, and are favored in their Sweet 16 games on Friday night. Virginia is a -6 point favorite over Iowa State, and North Carolina is a -5.5 point favorite over Indiana. The remaining two games feature the lowest remaining seeds in the tournament with the Notre Dame (6) taking on Wisconsin (7) and Gonzaga (11) taking on Syracuse (10). Hopefully these 4 games will be more entertaining then the 4 blowouts that took place in the first 4 Sweet 16 games. Regardless, there is still plenty of more madness to come, with the winner yet to be decided.
