The NCAA Tournament selection committee on Sunday revealed its 68-team field for this year's March Madness. So, it's time to grab that bracket and start making picks. Before you get there, though, we've got the goods below to arm you with information to help you win your pool.
Odds for every single First Four and first-round game are in the space below based on how Las Vegas oddsmakers see the games playing out. You might have your own special formula -- maybe you pick based off mascots, or colors, or vibes -- but the way oddsmakers see matchups might help add another piece of the puzzle as you finish your picks.
Keep in mind that odds are merely a projection based off models and shaped by the public and how oddsmakers set it in an attempt to draw action. Upsets happen all the time, especially in March Madness where last year we had a No. 1 seed fall in Round 1 to a No. 16 seed, while the year prior, a No. 2 seed lost in Round 1 to a No. 15 seed.
