We dissect the East and Midwest regions and how you can differentiate your bracket based on your pool format.
We take a look at the West region where I have a pretty definitive opinion of Florida as well as where they rank vs the top seeds in that region including St. John's.
We start our bracket breakdown with the South region and overall #1 seed Auburn.
I give my thoughts on what questions you should be asking heading into your March Madness pools and how to approach strategy for various formats.
Today we cover the NHL and Premier League since I didn't get to touch on those subjects yesterday with my remainder of the season outlook.
As we head into St. Patrick's Day and the beginning of March Madness I catch up on the sports that I will be pushing to the side for the next three weeks (and yes Mavs fans we will be talking about the sad state of your team).
My thoughts on the DFS slate how we should approach the roster construction on Draftkings and Fanduel
I give my thoughts ahead of the big game while my father and I debate what to expect out of the Chiefs and Eagles.
First I recap the 48 hour fiasco of Canelo breaking off and creating multiple matches before making up his mind on his next round of boxing matches. Next, I give my thoughts on the remaining moves of a tumultuous NBA trade deadline with the winners and losers of the Western Conference. I cap off the hour with my predictions for the UFC 312 PPV tonight.
There are so many layers to this Luka Doncic trade to the Lakers that nobody is talking about that I decided to give my thoughts on the likely real reason why this move was made and the fact that it was concentrated around the Lakers and nowhere else in the league.
Late night as my father and I break down the conference title games and our biggest takeaways.
I give my thoughts on the impending Bills Chiefs rematch as well as I why I believe the Commanders have a better chance than folks are giving them credit for heading into this 3rd meeting with the Eagles.
I go over what transpired and rather what went wrong for the Ravens and Mark Andrews amongst other items during a somewhat chaotic set of games this weekend.
We start getting into the thick of things when it comes to the playoffs today with some interesting matchups.
