 * 1) First thing you must know in handicapping the NCAA Tournament brackets is put the #1 seeds into the sweet 16. A #16 seed has never beat a #1 seed. Very few times has a 8 or 9 seed beat a 1 seed. So go with the handicapping trend and put them in the sweet 16.
 * 2) Second thing you must know in handicapping the March Madness brackets is that you must pick two #10 seeds to upset the #7 seeds. Many fall in love with the seven seeds but most of these teams are ripe for upsets.
 * 3) Third thing you must know in handicapping March Madness winning brackets is you must pick one #12 seed and possibly two. Recent years have almost a 50 percent win percentage straight up in this match up.
 * 4) Fourth thing is don't take all the #1 seeds. Handicapping March Madness break down and pick at least two non number one seeds. Last year was the first time all four #1 seeds made the Final Four. Don't go crazy picking below a #4 seed to make your final four. 93% of the final four teams have been made up by seeds #1-#4.
 * 5) Last tip for handicapping and picking a winning bracket is don't pick below a #3 seed to win it all. Don't try to find the longshot or underdog winner just take one of the top 10 teams and run with it. The chance of you winning if you pick a #4 seed is not very good because if they lose it will be to the #1 seed in the sweet 16. You need your teams to advance to at worst the elite 8.

By the way want to leave you with one last tip. Don't forget about handicapping conferences. Many people fall in love with the Big 6 conferences. Don't make that mistakes handicap the conferences and rank them from best to worst. Have that help you in determining a smaller conference underdog against maybe an over rated big conference.
