NCAA Tournament Pool

NCAA TOURNAMENT POOL STANDINGS

We had a ridiculously exciting Round 2 of the NCAA Tournament, complete with 3 double digit seeds advancing to the Sweet 16, and 4 upsets worthy of bonus points.  Those upsets were Dayton over Syracuse, Connecticut over Villanova, Stanford over Kansas and Kentucky over Wichita State.  We had people that selected each of those upsets and gathered bonus points.  Our second day leader – Cesar Gonzalez, had both the Dayton and the Connecticut picks.  Yes, he had DAYTON in the Sweet 16.  He also still has 7 of his final 8 alive, with his only miss being that he had New Mexico coming out of the South regional.  Also selecting Dayton was Carolyn Fowler and Alex Sotelo.  Kudos also go to Train Zimmerman and his brother Mango Merchant, who were the only two that selected Stanford over Kansas.  More than several had Connecticut over Villanova, but much fewer than expected had Kentucky over Wichita State.  SUCKERS!!!

A special mention to Hannah Sosa and Justin Yung, both of whom selected the vaunted Harvard Crimson to defeat the trendy pick Michigan State Spartans.  The boys from the Ivy League almost pulled out the victory, and I must admit that I have never been more excited for cheering against my national champion pick.

As for the bracket busters, we lost 4 more champions, with Wichita State, Kansas, Villanova and Syracuse going down.  Several had each of those, but the second day leader that lost each was Carolyn Fowler (Wichita State), George Walks 5 (Kansas), Rich Samuels (Villanova) and Eric Inge (Syracuse).  Eric Inge took the loss particularly well, saying simply, “Just burn my bracket”!

Lots of big matchups this week, but the biggest, by far, seems to be Virginia v. Michigan State, as the pool is roughly equally split between those two teams.  That should be the game the separates the eventual winners from the rest.

Further updates will continue this week with listings of final four and champion picks, and, if I have time, the divisional scoring leaders.  Remember to go to WeMakeItRain.blogspot.com for all of your scoring updates.

Once again – please check my math and let me know if you have any questions.

Congratulations again to Cesar Gonzalez – who maintains sole possession of first place as of the end of the second round.

NCAA Tournament Pool Standings Round 1 Day 2

NCAA TOURNAMENT POOL STANDINGS

Welcome back.  I know that games were played yesterday, but this is the standings after the completion of Round 1 (Friday’s games).  All second round totals/standings will be sent out after tomorrow.

Some interesting developments in Day 2.  Two champions went down, with the third seeded Duke Blue Devils losing to Mercer and the 6th seeded Massachusetts Minutemen losing to Tennessee.  For the third major upset of the day, North Dakota State beat Oklahoma.  Nobody gets any special mentions for picking Tennessee as they were actually the betting favorite in Vegas.  More people than I thought picked North Dakota State, so the pick of the day goes to Cesar Gonzalez for actually selecting Mercer to beat Duke.

Stephen F. Austin pulled a VCU and beat VCU with quite possible the most bizarre regulation time ending in tournament history - a four point play.  A fair number of people had Stephen F. Austin, so only one entry receives special mention, as Trouble Kroesen was on the edge of the seat watching the ending of the game.



As far as the brackets go, Virginia, Arizona and Wichita State were all unanimous picks, which means that absolutely nobody in our pool selected any of the 16th seeds.  That makes sense in that a 16 has never beaten a 1 in the men’s tournament.  It has happened on one occasion in the women’s tournament, back in 1998 when the 16 seeded Harvard Crimson, led by nations leading scorer Allison Feaster, defeated the number 1 seed Stanford Cardinal – at Stanford.  But I digress …

So I mentioned earlier that two champions went down, Arlene Hopps had selected UMass, and several entries – Steven Usma, Justin Yung, Kristen Bolton and Ty Leatherman all selected Duke.  Ty gets a pass as she is an alumna.  Steve Usma also gets special mention as he not only lost Duke, but he was the only person to have selected North Carolina Central

Please note – I will be sending out PayPal information soon!

Please check and/or double check my math with our brackets.  I am definitely not perfect, so I welcome the opportunity to correct any mistakes I may have made.

Congratulations to Cesar Gonzalez – who vaults into first place after correctly picking 28 of the first 32 games.  His only misses – he had Oklahoma State over Gonzaga, UMass over Tennessee, George Washington over Memphis and New Mexico over Stanford.  Great job Cesar.

A note – the standings will be posted over at WeMakeItRain.blogspot.com starting with this one.  Head over to that website to view the standings as I post them.  As this is new for this year, I will still send out an e-mail when the standings are completed – at least for the next couple of days.  After that – keep checking the blog for the results.

Picks of the Week

It has been awhile since I last posted, but to be honest, I have been on a bit of a roll making money and I didn't want to jinx it.  To confirm, I am in a picks pool, so that you can see the number of games I have picked correctly in the link immediately after this paragraph (my team is the Mad Cubans).  The last posted picks on this site was Week 13, so for my total numbers you can look at the number of wins for weeks 13-16.  I will add those to my totals below.  Only in week 13 did I have a guaranteed Big Bet, since we do not have such a thing in my picks pool.

http://games.espn.go.com/nfl-pigskin-pickem/2013/en/group?groupID=43052

Now, on to this week's picks.

Atlanta Falcons +6 v. Carolina Panthers
Carolina is a hot team coming into week 17, but they are not offensively dynamic.  As we saw last week against the 49ers, Atlanta can still move the ball.  I will take the points.

Cincinnati Bengals -6 1/2 v. Baltimore Ravens
Cincinnati is a completely different team at home, having gone 7-0 so far this year; plus they are playing for a bye in the playoffs.  The Ravens are playing for their playoff lives, but they have already exceeded expectations this year.

Jacksonville Jaguars + 1- 1/2 at Indianapolis Colts
Jacksonville has actually had a very interesting second half and is not that bad.  Even when the Colts win (usually against the tougher teams in the league), they do not dominate the score.

New York Jets +5 1/2 at Miami Dolphins
The Jets have one of the stingiest run defenses in the league and the Dolphins are one of the worst rushing offenses in the league.  That means all Miami will be able to try is to pass, and that plays right into the Jets pass rush.  Muhammad Wilkerson will have a helluva game after being snubbed from the Pro Bowl.  The Dolphins still might win, but it will be close.

Detroit Lions +3 at Minnesota Vikings
Detroit has been disappointing yes, but how are they getting points in this game?

New York Giants -3 v. Washington Redskins
This is a complete wildcard given that Mike Shanahan might be intentionally tanking this game or he might just call anything wild and unusual and really mess things up.  The Giants have actually been pretty good in the second half of the season.

Cleveland Browns +7 at Pittsburgh Steelers 
Pittsburgh actually has a chance to make the playoffs, but they have to win this game and have about 4,193 other combinations all occur at the same time.  Cleveland's defense is pretty stingy, and I would watch this game just to see the Antonio Brown/Joe Haden matchup out wide.

Green Bay Packers -3 at Chicago Bears
The Bears have been horrible against the spread, and now comes word that Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy and Randall Cobb will all be playing.  Ouch.

New England -7 1/2 v. Buffalo Bills
New England with something on the line in the regular season - like a bye week in the playoffs - is one of the surest bets in football.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +12 at New Orleans Saints
I expect New Orleans to win this game, but Tampa Bay has been competitive under Mike Glennon, and should provide a tougher than expected game for the Saints.

San Francisco 49ers -1 v. Arizona Cardinals
I have been very late to the Arizona Cardinals bandwagon - in fact, I still do not trust them.  I mean pulling out a win in Seattle with Carson Palmer throwing 4 interceptions?  Really?!  Of course, not quite understanding Arizona has hurt me tremendously in my pics this year.  Them and San Diego.

Denver Broncos -10 1/2 at Oakland Raiders
I don't want to pick this game at all, because we don't really know how long the offensive stars for the Broncos will play, but I thank that they will play long enough to score a ton of points.

Kansas City Chiefs +10 at San Diego Chargers
The spread is only this high because Kansas City virtually has nothing to play for, while the Chargers, at home, have everything.  The Chiefs are injured on defense, but I still think they will keep it close.

Seattle Seahawks -11 1/2 v. St. Louis Rams
If this were earlier in the season, I would easily have picked the Rams and their defense to cover this spread.  However, after losing at home to the Cardinals last week, I think Seattle wants to make a statement to the league that last week was an anomaly, and should just come out and destroy the Rams.

Dallas Cowboys +7 v. Philadelphia Eagles
I expect the Eagles to win this game, but the initial spread was 3 points in favor of Dallas, and this swing occurring after the announcement that Romo was injured and not playing in this game.  Is Romo really worth a 10 point swing?  I do not think so, so I believe that this spread is a bit of an overreaction to Romo's injury.  Cowboys to cover, but Eagles to the playoffs.

BIG BET

Houston Texans +7 at Tennessee Titans
Houston is not good this year.  At all.  But, they have incredible talent on both sides of the ball, and the Titans are not blowing anybody out.  So I will take the touchdown, with the possibility that Houston wins outright and costs Mike Munchak his job.  This game is likely to determine whether I finish in the money or not for the season - assuming I have a good week.

Last Four Weeks' Record: 34-30
Year To Date Record:  107-108-6
Last Four Weeks' Big Bet: 1-0
Big Bet Year To Date: 8-5
Last Four Weeks' Winnings (Losses): $250
Year-To-Date Winnings (Losses): ($685)

The Definitive List of Ultimate Christmas Songs

Earlier this week, my sister asked me (and others) what our favorite Christmas song was.  I easily rattled off my favorite 3 of all-time.  Also this week, Racecar and I were able to attend Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at the Lincoln Center's Christmas performance.  These two seemingly unrelated events - added to the fact that we are now in the final weekend before Christmas - made me want to establish this completely objective Top 11 list of the Best Christmas Songs of all time.  Why 11?  Because it is my blog - and I can.  Besides, Top 10 lists are all played out.  Please note that none of the songs contained within this list are in any way placed here in jest.

11.  Dogs Barking Jingle Bells

Why Dogs Barking Jingle Bells?  1 - Because it is awesome.  2 - Because dogs deserve to celebrate as well!

10.  McKenzie Brothers - 12 Days of Christmas

Why?  Because a beer .... in a tree is a fantastic gift.



9.  Bing Crosby - White Christmas

One of the all-time classics and would normally be in the top 1 or 2 of most normal people's lists.  However, since I am not that normal, it falls to 9.

8.  Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You

Do you even have to ask?

7.  O Holy Night - Almost Anybody

Just a fantastic song.  If anyone has a good voice, an edgy voice, some soul, or interesting rhythm - then this song will sound fabulous.

6.  Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Carol of the Bells

Nothing says Christmas like this fantastic tune!

5.  Mr. Garrison (South Park) - Merry F&%#ing Christmas

Try not to forget that South Park the Movie won an academy award for best original song.  This one is much, much better.  It is wrong, but it is so, so right!


4.  Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song

The perfect blend of melody, voice, rhythm and Christmas.

3.  Run-DMC - Christmas in  Hollis

Easily the best holiday song to come from the rap or hip-hop genres.  An easy pick for the top three.


2.  Straight No Chaser - 12 Days of Christmas

Traditional Christmas Song - check.  A Capella group - check.  Ad libbed mashup - check.  80's music - check.  Cannot get much better than this.


And the best Christmas song of all time is without question ....

1. - LONELY ISLAND ft. Justin Timberlake - D@#K IN A BOX
