Obviously, a powerhouse like Duke being at the top should not surprise anybody. Even during a down year for the Blue Devils, they’re damn good.

Coach K has a basketball factory in Durham. All they do is pump out star players year after year, and they’re going to be loaded headed into next season.

It’s also pretty wild that Gonzaga routinely gets so much love as a team in a mid-major conference. They’re always good, but are people really confident they’ll make a title run?

I always take Gonzaga to make the Sweet 16. After that, it’s a risky move to believe they can win multiple straight games against traditional powerhouses.

As for Wisconsin, I’ll take us at 25/1 every day of the week. Are those numbers insulting? Not really, but they’re way too damn low.

That’s okay. If Vegas wants to hand out free money, then I’ll just say thank you as I take it.
