00:00And it's a good time to give you, there it is, look at it all, the big board here from

00:05the SportsCritic Graphics.

00:06We love it as we get a little closer to the Final Four in San Antonio on the Riverwalk

00:13at the Alamo Dome and coming up a week from Saturday.

00:18NCAA tournament betting update for you.

00:21Favorites so far in the tournament, 28 and 24.

00:26So favorites covering just a little bit more.

00:29Favorites of six or more though, Scottie, how about this?

00:31Big favorites, 19 and 9, 66% against the spreads.

00:36Teams getting the public money, down 22 and 28 against the spread.

00:40The Big Ten's been the best, 12 and 4.

00:43ATS.

00:44Unders, 28 and 24.

00:47And if you bet $100 on every underdog, which people sometimes do in the tournament, you

00:52would be down almost $1,700, been like that.

00:56Oh, isn't that great?

00:57So what happens every year in this tournament is all of these morons bet on all these underdogs.

01:05All they do, Sunday when the selections are made and the brackets are made, everyone and

01:10their mother and brother and sister and uncle and cousin tells you about all the upsets

01:17that are going to happen.

01:18And they just rattle off all of these 12, 5, and all the 16s are going to do it this

01:25year and all these other upsets.

01:28And then this year, none of them happened.

01:31I mean, what upset was there?

01:33Just McNeese?

01:35And then they got their ass beat.

01:37So what's happened here is, as we've said yesterday, this is a bracket now in the regionals

01:43of nothing but heavyweights.

01:46There's no small schools involved at all.

01:50The Gales, none of them.

01:51There's none of them there.

01:52So some people are saying that this is the future of the NCAA tournament, that with NIL

02:00and money comes power, comes strength, comes, we're too big for you, you're not beating us.

02:08So it's essentially given us tons of bad games.

02:14Which hopefully now will equate to tons of good games, you would think, with just 16

02:19left and most of them being heavies.

02:21You would think that the coin will flip now.
