The best day of the year is finally here—March Madness Opening Day. Nothing beats the first full slate of games, where Cinderella stories are born, brackets get busted before lunch, and bettors ride the rollercoaster of emotions from buzzer-beaters to bad beats. Our squad is locked in, and as you can see from our Thursday Picks, we’re eyeing some major upsets and value plays. High Point ML at +280? McNeese ML at +275? This is the kind of madness we live for.
As for trends, underdogs tend to thrive in the first round, covering the spread at a historically high rate (around 50-55% over the past decade). Double-digit seeds are always live, with at least one No. 12 seed upsetting a No. 5 in 31 of the last 38 tournaments. And let’s not forget about the mid-majors—teams like Yale, Drake, and High Point are primed to make noise. Strap in, it's going to be wild.
