Sweet 16 is here. In the first 48 games I show the favorites going 27-20-1 ( I grade against the opening, NOT closing lines Distorted by gambling action.) I show 27 overs, 20 under and one push on the totals.because these numbers usually come out reasonably close to even, I will look closely for dogs and under plays. I forecast final scores using Lem Bankers method based on the last four games each team plays, dropping the high and low averaging the middle two for each team. I also factor in each teams performance vs the spread and total the first two games of the tournament.i am not saying this is always right, but it points me in the right direction more often than not. I also factor in what I've seen on the floor, how I think the two teams will match up . I am starting with playing UCLA+4-. They pencil out to winning the game outright. I will play Arizona under 121- game and under 56- first h. Will add more later.
