Let the fun begin! The Play-In games are over and the field of 64 is set. The First Round of the NCAA Tournament begins at 9:15am PT with West Virginia vs. Maryland and concludes with NC Asheville vs. UCLA later tonight. We have our picks for all 16 games right here and our Best Bets are listed below in this newsletter. We split the two games last night, but failed on our Best Bet with Texas Southern. We are 2-1-1 overall heading into the best two days of the season.

We swept our Best Bets in both the NBA and NHL last night, as we are heating up in both leagues. Bobby had the Clippers over the Warriors on Wednesday and is now on a sizzling 7-1 (88%) run heading into tonight's action. He is also on a 5-1 (+560) run in the NHL, while Jay is 5-2 (+440) over the last week.

Remember, all of our picks are 100% FREE and available every morning on our website. Below, you will find our Best Bets for Thursday, March 16th, 2023 from our expert handicappers including some future bets at the bottom. Good luck to everyone today!
