2021 March Madness Anti-Picks, Round 1

It's the time of the year where I stick my foot in my mouth by making hypothetical bets on the NCAA Men's Tournament.  The thinking is is that you bet against me and you will be absolutely rich.  I do evaluate my picks after each round, and just a reminder, I think I ended up in 2019 and, I think, in 2018 as well.

I wish I could delve into more detail with these picks, but 1) I'm tired, 2) I need to start on the WMNSS, and 3) I'm kind of in a bad mood because I'm pissed my boss is busting my balls for being "late" to work.  What the fuckever (wanking motion).  So I'm just going to lay out the picks, parlays and amounts, and I'll be back Saturday night or Sunday morning to recap and hopefully give you Round 2.

Odds are of at press time from Covers.com:

1) Florida Pick Em' (Virginia Tech has played, like, four times in the past six weeks) $50

2) Arkansas-Colgate Over 161 $50

3) Utah St. +4 $100

4) Wisconsin +1 1/2 $50

5) Rutgers -1 1/2 (the only lower seed to be favored, here over Clemson) $200

6) Syracuse +3 (if the Orange are able to fool San Diego St., they're reaching the Sweet Sixteen) $100

7) Syracuse M/L +131 $50

8) Winthrop +6 1/2 $100

9) Winthrop M/L +224 $50

10) North Carolina-Greensboro +10 1/2 $50

11) St. Bonaventure +1 1/2

12) California-Santa Barbara +7 $100

13) Ohio +7 1/2 $100

14) Abilene Christian +9 $50

15) Parlay 6) with 8), for $100.

16) Parlay 7) with 9), for $50.

17) I believe in the following upsets for I have them in my bracket ... parlay 3), 12) and 13) together (although I also have Syracuse and Winthrop notching first-round upsets [I feel really confident about them and so I'm putting them in their own bets], as well as the play-in winner vs. BYU, for which I don't see any line), for $100.

Good luck!
