The big downside for doing this is that not all of the first-round odds are in because of these stupid play-in games (and by the way, nice comeback by my alma mater -- congratulations to them for making the real tournament!!!). There are only 14 games listed for Friday's, and I have no idea when I'll get them, so I'll just have to make do without them. Same is true for Rounds 2 and 4, both of which come on the weekend and whose matchups are only determined 48 hours in advance. That means that the rounds, played over the course of two days, won't have all the games' odds before the first game of that round tips off. I hate that. But, again, I must make do.
Since I am so busy, I am now concentrating only the underdogs I would go crazy and bet on if I were at an actual casino in, for example, Las Vegas. I know it is unwise to do so, but I cannot shake my fantasy of roping in some huge-legged parlay for, oh, $75 and make thousands upon thousands because they hit. I surely would lose my shirt, but hey, this is what the Anti-Picks are for.

15) Giant Killers Blog (ESPN.com) parlay, which is taking the underdogs this blog says have the best chances of happening. I then removed the underdogs current at Pick 'Em (Rhode Island) or, in fact, favored (Middle Tennessee St.), and then because I got spooked by the matchup, I have removed UNCW: 1), 7) and 11), for $200
16) Same thing, but only for odds: 2), 8), 12), for $100
17) Might as well group the others: 3), 5), 9) and 13), for $75
18) And 4), 6), 10) and 14), for $50
19) For completion's sake -- all the odds bets (by which I mean the, uh, odd-numbered bets), for $75.
20) And all the M/L's/even-numbered wagers, for $25.
Good luck!
