    We Learned Again Today Something About "Sheik" Upset Picks

    Talking about 13 seeds or higher if anyone has the nuts to pick them ... when it's a public play [BELMONT] - it almost always fails.

    Yep case in point yesterday and today. Yesterday many were on Montana +9 and Wisconsin blew them out of the gym. Georgetown won by 15 but the game was hardly ever in doubt.

    I just remember watching the Selection Show and then Bracketology and all the talking heads didn't even give Georgetown a chance. Always all of them were rolling with Belmont to score the upset. There's usually at least one of these sort of match-ups every year that the favorite winds up winning when everyone thinks they are going to get KO'ed

    the higher seeds almost always suck, very rare we get a good one like VCU last year

    When you "look" for a cute upset it rarely happens. All these experts on TV touting Belmont this year again.

    5dimes had some nice props.... All #3 seeds. or All #4 seeds win. or All #16-14 seeds lose.

    Impossible to pick what team will have a huge upset.

    Its not an upset if "everyone" expects them to win.

    belmont didnt have the caliber of team they have had in years past when they played well in the tourney (no that's not 20/20 hindsight, I said that in the preview video i did for it)

    Usually a team will come out of nowhere to score the upset, not a team everyone expects to. Looking at you Colorado

    After what Belmont did last year in the tourny as a +4.5 dog to Wisky in the first round. I scoffed @ them until taking the recommendation of a friend.
