Our Sweet 16 predictions kick off on Thursday night in the East Region, where the Syracuse Orange and the Wisconsin Badgers duke it out for the right to go to the Elite 8. Check out our Syracuse vs. Wisconsin keys to the game!

2012 Sweet 16 Matchup: #4 Wisconsin Badgers vs. #1 Syracuse Orange
East Region Location: TD Garden, Boston, MA
Sweet 16 Date/Time: Thursday, March 22nd, 7:15 p.m.
Wisconsin vs. Syracuse Television Coverage: CBS

Key #1: The Badgers have to keep the pace of this game down
We know that Syracuse isn’t going to be all that interested in running this game into the 70s against the Badgers, but it knows that it is going to want to try to get into offensive sets in a hurry to try to avoid settling in against that ferocious Wisconsin defense. These Badgers are simply awesome in transition defense, and there are very few cheap baskets that they allow. The Orange shoot the ball well at 46.6 percent from the floor, but this is a Wisconsin ‘D’ that is holding teams down to just 52.9 points per game and 38.5 percent shooting from the field and 28.8 percent from beyond the arc. The pace has to stay slow though, as the Badgers don’t have the offense to be able to put up 70-75 points against this stout defense, so it is imperative to try to limit the number of possessions in this game.

Key #2: The Badgers can’t get three point happy
Syracuse has a great perimeter defense, and the way that it is eventually probably going to get beaten in this tournament is by a team that is able to pound the paint and the heart of that patented 2-3 zone, where Fab Melo is no longer standing due to his eligibility concerns. In the dance, Wisconsin has already jacked up a whopping 52 three-point shots, and that just isn’t going to be good enough against a team like this in all likelihood. The Orange have lanky defenders that can really be a pain to the Badgers who are trying to pick up points three at a time instead of two. Sure, if those shots are falling, it’s fantastic. However, it’s really hard against the 2-3 zone to shake loose and get open looks at threes, and if the Badgers just start chucking up contested long range shots, they’re going to get embarrassed in this clash.

Key #3: Syracuse has to keep the Wisconsin bigs off of the glass
We know that Wisconsin is going to take a lot of those long range shots that we mentioned before, and if Head Coach Jim Boeheim has to have a concern, it is about how his team hits the glass. The Kansas State Wildcats had a whopping 22 offensive rebounds against the Orange in the Round of 32, and though the game did end up with a bit of a lopsided score, there has to be a concern that KSU was able to get up 22 more shots than Syracuse did. Without Melo there to clean up the glass, there just aren’t that many players that have the ability to be dynamos on the boards, and if the Badgers are getting second chance buckets, they are going to be able to pull off the upset.

Bovada Sportsbook is always the home for some of the best NFL props out there, and today, we are going to analyze the Peyton Manning props that just hit the board now that he has signed with the Denver Broncos, along with the odds on where Tim Tebow will be playing next year.

Denver Broncos Regular Season Wins Over 10
Remember in the AFC West, there are six games that Denver really should take at least five of. There’s no reason to not win the mass majority of the games on this type of a slate. The Broncos still have the defense to get the job done, and they still just tend to find some ways to win games, and in the end, we would be a lot less surprised to see them win 11 games than to see them win just nine or fewer as long as Manning proves to be remotely healthy.

Peyton Manning Under 4,000 Total Passing Yards
We know that Manning has had very few bad seasons in his career. He has played in 13 seasons in the past, and of those, he never had fewer than 3,739 yards, and he exceeded 4,000 yards in 11 of the 13. However, Head Coach John Fox is a guy that wants to run the football, and it isn’t just because Tebow couldn’t really throw the football to save his life. Jake Delhomme never threw for 4,000 yards in a season with Fox calling the shots with the Carolina Panthers, and though we know that Delhomme is no Peyton Manning, it just doesn’t seem like it is in Fox’s nature to let Manning throw the ball the 525-550 times required for him to reach 4,000 yards. Remember that injuries could come into play as well, and if Manning isn’t good to go for the full year, he won’t be anywhere near this number in all likelihood.

Peyton Manning Total TD Passes in 2012 Season Over 28.5
Now, this is a different story. Manning has absolutely pristine precision in the end zone, and though his arm strength might not be what it once was, we have to reason to believe that he still won’t have the eye and the accuracy to be able to put the ball exactly where it needs to be. There are some big, tall receivers that are playing here in Denver, and once Manning builds that rapport with them, there are going to be a heck of a lot of opportunities to score. Remember that the AFC West had some miserable defenses last season, and they aren’t going to be getting any better. We have to think that Manning has 30 TD potential this year.

Peyton Manning Total INTs in 2012 Season Over 16.5
Yeah, sure. We hear you. Manning really was only this bad at the very beginning of his career, and he surely is going to be very careful with the football here in Denver. That being said, we think that the arm strength issue could be a concern. There are a lot of gambling corners out there that are going to love to get a piece of Manning, and he became a bit pick happy in his last two seasons, tossing 33 INTs in that stretch. Manning could be worth 20 INTs this year.

Will Peyton Manning Win 2012 NFL MVP? (+700)
Really, Bovada? Only 7 to 1 on this prop. No thanks. Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady are all going to be frontrunners for the MVP award at the start of the year, and we just don’t see that changing at any point in the near future. Manning won’t have the numbers this year to get the job done, and in all likelihood, he probably won’t even be considered when push comes to shove.

Will Peyton Manning Win Comeback Player of the Year? (+100)
Now, here’s a lot smarter prop. Manning doesn’t have to be a super stud to win this award, just knowing that there usually aren’t a ton of great candidates for this honor when push really comes to shove. The story in Denver is going to be great to follow this year, and the media is going to be all over Manning. As long as he stays on the horse, he should be the Comeback Player of the Year.

Where Will Tim Tebow Play Next Year?
Jacksonville +150
Denver +175
Miami +175
New England +700
Cleveland +1200

Oh, Denver, what are you going to do here? The most logical place for Tebow to land is in Jacksonville, but the Jaguars just signed Chad Henne and still have Blaine Gabbert, who was only just put into the fray last season as the team’s No. 1 draft pick. Dare the Jags give up on Gabbert and give Tebow a shot? He’ll sell uniforms, but he might not do much more. We just don’t see the Broncos hanging onto him, as we think that that situation will get toxic in a hurry with the media that will be in the Mile High City. The Browns do need a quarterback, but trading in Colt McCoy for Tebow just doesn’t seem to be that much of an upgrade. They’re both proven winners and both work incredibly hard, and Tebow just doesn’t strike us as a Cleveland type of guy. New England is a team to consider for sure.

The Pats have all sorts of love for Tebow, from the fact that Head Coach Bill Belichick loves drafting Gators to the fact that Josh McDaniels, the new OC for the team, is the man that traded up to draft Tebow in Denver. Still, if we had to guess, Tebow is going to be bringing his talents to South Beach. The Dolphins fans are starting to rise up against ownership, and the team needs to make a splash. Sure, it would have been a lot better to land Manning, and heck, it probably would have been better to end up with Matt Flynn, too. However, Tebow at least brings a name to the team, gives it a shot of having a starting quarterback at the NFL level that has won some games, and gives ownership the ability of adding another glitzy name, just like Serena Williams and all of the other big names that have small ownership of the team.

Bay Hill is one of the most coveted tournaments each and every year on the PGA Tour schedule, and this year’s event is going to be no exception whatsoever. Today, we take a look at the Arnold Palmer Invitational odds, as well as our 2012 Bay Hill predictions for this tremendous event!

2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational Predictions & Info
2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational Dates: Thursday, March 22nd – Sunday, March 25th, 2012
2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational Location: Bay Hill Club & Lodge, Orlando, FL
Defending Arnold Palmer Invitational Winner: Martin Laird
2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational TV Coverage – Network: Golf Channel, NBC

Last year, the Bay Hill Invitational was certainly not an event that Tiger Woods (Bay Hill Odds: 6.80 @ Sportbet Sportsbook) wanted to remember. An event held right in his own backyard, Woods has dominated here at Bay Hill, winning the title six times, more than any other golfer in the history of the event. However, last year’s Arnold Palmer Invitational was a disaster for one of the top golfers of our time, as he had three rounds in the 70s and was never really in contention. This year though, it appears as though Woods is a bit more set to be at the top of his game, and with that being said, we know that he is going to be able to find his way around this course just find. He’s coming off of another injury that caused him to leave a tournament recently, and that might be something worth watching as Tiger tries to go his mojo back.

The man of the hour that is going to be returning as the champ is Martin Laird (PGA Odds: 60 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook). Laird won his second ever PGA Tour event last year by firing a -8, 280. He wasn’t all that special on the last day of the event, shooting a suspect 75, but on a day where a ton of the scores were high, that was good enough to give him the one stroke lead. The Scottsman started off the year in fine form, finishing second at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, but after that, things have more or less just fallen apart, as he hasn’t been in serious contention at any event, save for a quarterfinal finish at the Accenture Match Play Championships. He’ll love to be back here at Bay Hill though, and he could be a force to be reckoned with once again this year.

List Of Past Bay Hill/Arnold Palmer Invitational Winners (Since 2000)
2011 – Martin Laird
2010 – Ernie Els
2009 – Tiger Woods
2008 – Tiger Woods
2007 – Vijay Singh
2006 – Rod Pampling
2005 – Kenny Perry
2004 – Chad Campbell
2003 – Tiger Woods
2002 – Tiger Woods
2001 – Tiger Woods
2000 – Tiger Woods

Of course, we are going to have to pay some attention to Phil Mickelson (Odds to Win The Arnold Palmer Invitational: 12.50 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook). Save for a terrible effort in his second tourney of the year at the Farmers Insurance Open, Mickelson has done just about everything right. He won the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and he nearly won a second straight week by finishing in second at the Northern Trust Open as well. Bay Hill is the type of course that Lefty really can do some damage on, and as long as you believe that Tiger is still tamed for the most part, Mickelson is the golfer that you are going to have to play the closest attention to come the latter stages of this tournament.

Another golfer that is going to be worth keeping an eye on is Webb Simpson (Odds to Win The Bay Hill Invitational: 20 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook). Last year was really the first time that we had spoken about Simpson as a potential threat to win a tournament. As it turned out, he finished the year ranked second in the sport on the money list, racking up well over $6.6M in earnings. Victories at the Wyndham Championship and the Deutsche Bank Championship helped out dramatically as well. Early on this year, Simpson is once again doing well, and he might be shooting up your list of golfers that you will want to back on the Arnold Palmer odds this year. Simpson is coming off of a 10th place finish in last week’s Transitions Championship, which might be a good sign for him going forward here at Bay Hill.

The road to the Masters continues in the middle of March with the 2012 Transitions Championship, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are taking a look at the best Transitions Championship odds on the board and making our Transitions Championship predictions for the tournament ahead.

2012 Transitions Championship Predictions & Info
2012 Transitions Championship Dates: Thursday, March 15th – Sunday March 18th, 2012
2012 Transitions Championship Location: Innisbrook Resort, Copperhead Course, Palm Harbor, FL
Defending Transitions Championship Winner: Gary Woodland
2012 Transitions Championship TV Coverage – Network: Golf Channel, NBC

The field for this event isn’t nearly as strong as some of the others that you’ll find on the PGA Tour in general, but one of the men that promises to be popular for this weekend is Luke Donald (Transitions Championship Favorite: 9.50 to 1 @ Sportbet Sportsbook). Donald was one of the most consistent golfers in the world last year, and in the events that he played, he averaged finishing in a whopping 17th place, easily tops on the PGA Tour. He didn’t end up playing in this tournament last year, as he basically took a hiatus from the Cadillac Championship through the Masters, but this year, one of the world’s top players is expected to be here in Palm Harbor. With just two missed cuts all year in 2011, we know that Donald is going to be a steady golfer, and though that doesn’t always translate into victories, it does give you the knowledge that the man you’re betting on is still at least going to be in the discussion come Sunday.

Another big time name that is going to be at this event is Nick Watney (Transitions Championship Odds: 28 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook). Thus far this season, Watney hasn’t been the greatest golfer on the PGA Tour. However, he did log his first Top 10 finish in an event when he made it to the round of 16 in the Accenture Match Play Championship, and the very next tournament that he entered at that Cadillac Championship, he came up with his best tournament of the year at -8, finishing in 17th place. He hasn’t shot well on Sundays, posting three final rounds in the mid-70s just in the months of January and February alone, and he would love to use this tournament as a major boost to get back on his game. Watney struggled on Sunday here at the Transitions Championship last year as well, firing a 73 to fall out of contention, though he did finish in a very respectable 13th place.

List Of Past Transitions Championship Winners
2011 – Gary Woodland
2010 – Jim Furyk
2009 – Retief Goosen
2008 – Sean O’Hair
2007 – Mark Calcavecchia
2006 – KJ Choi
2005 – Carl Pettersson
2004 – Vijay Singh
2003 – Retief Goosen
2002 – KJ Choi
2001 – No Tournament
2000 – John Huston

A man that has always played well at this event is Retief Goosen (Odds To Win The Transitions Championship: 80 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook). Along with KJ Choi, Goosen is the only other man that can say that he has won this tournament twice, doing so in 2003 and 2009. The South African didn’t win an event last year, but he did post a very respectable 28th place finish last year in this tournament. You can bet that the Goose is going to want to get back in the win column as soon as possible, especially after a disappointing start to this season.

Last year, this proved to be a banner tournament for the young Gary Woodland (Transitions Championship Lines: 66 to 1 @ SportBet Sportsbook). At best 27 years old, Woodland is another one of these up and coming golfers on the PGA Tour. He put together a win for the first time in his career right here at the Transitions Championship. At the time, he was playing the best golf of his life though, as that was his fourth straight tournament in which he finished in the Top 6. To close out the year, Woodland finished in the Top 25 in seven straight events as well, and that definitely makes him someone that could prove to pull off yet another miracle as we head towards the Masters.

Total Number Of Buzzer Beaters in the Round Of 64 In The NCAA Tournament
We know that there are some big time games over the course of the NCAA Tournament, and there are a slew that are decided with shots that either miss or are made right at the end of games. The term, “buzzer beater,” is tough, though. The shot has to go in with 0:00 on the clock, and that isn’t always the case. There will probably be one over the course of the 63 games, and at 19/10, we’d rather back that than more than that at some other prices or zero at 5/7. Remember that we are only dealing with the first full round of games as well.

Which #1 Seed Will Be The First Eliminated From The NCAA Tournament?
Many think that the Syracuse Orange are the team that is going to be the top seed blanked first. That being said, we think that it is the Michigan State Spartans that will be the first to drop out of the dance. The Spartans have the toughest No. 16 seed matchup, and if there is going to be a top seed drop for the first time ever in the Round of 64, this is going to be the one to do it, because the Long Island Blackbirds aren’t your averaged No. 16 seed. Also, MSU has to go up against either the Memphis Tigers or the Saint Louis Billikens in the second round, and either way, that is an upset that could be waiting to happen.

How Man #14 Seeds Will Advance From The Round Of 64 in the NCAA Tournament?
Just consider this fact: The Belmont Bruins are only +3.5 against the Georgetown Hoyas… This is a terrible spread to say the least, and it is one that we are going to take full advantage of. At least one of the #14s is probably going to end up winning a game, as all four of them (whether the fourth be Iona or BYU) are capable of pulling off upsets against teams that we think are tremendously overrated.

Our 2012 NCAA Tournament predictions are set to continue here at Bankroll Sports, and we are going to be making our March Madness prop picks for some of the great props that you can find on the board at 5Dimes Sportsbook!

Will a #1 Seed Win the NCAA Tournament?
The four No. 1 seeds aren’t all the favorites to win the dance. Sure, at -120, you can get the Kentucky Wildcats and the Syracuse Orange, who were clearly the top two teams in the land all season long. But would you rather have these four teams, or the Ohio State Buckeyes, Duke Blue Devils, Missouri Tigers, and Kansas Jayhawks? We think that we would rather have that second line at +225 than the top line at -120 even though Kentucky is clearly the favorite to win it all, especially knowing that almost any No. 2 seed would probably be favored over any of the other No. 1s, save for Kentucky if that’s what it came down to in the final game of the year.

Will an ACC Team Win the NCAA Tournament?
This is probably the most interesting of all of the NCAA Tournament props this year. The ACC has itself a No. 1 seed that is very talented with the North Carolina Tar Heels, and they are clearly one of the two teams that we can see winning the whole thing very easily this year. The Duke Blue Devils are a team that has a great draw that is going to likely last at least through the first weekend of the tournament, and the same could really be said about the Florida State Seminoles as well. Sure, we get the Virginia Cavaliers and the NC State Wolfpack for the heck of it as well, but those top three teams are certainly intriguing to say the least. We would love the ACC at +480 to win it all this year.

Will All Four #1 Seeds Be In the Final Four?
It is really amazing to think that all four seeds have been in the Final Four just one time in the history of this tournament. This year, we really don’t love the chances of any of the top ranked teams in brackets aside from the Kentucky Wildcats. We don’t really see how the Michigan State Spartans are going to get through the West when it is said and done, and we really aren’t sure whether the rest of the top seeds are going to get through their respective brackets as well. 40 to 1 looks like an enticing price, but it just isn’t going to happen this year.

Sum Of All Seeds In Final Over Over/Under 11.5
5Dimes is offering these sums all the way from 5.5 all the way up to 15.5, but this is the average numbers and is the one that we can get -108 and -112 on the over and under respectively. There are a lot of double digit seeds that we could see getting into the Final Four this year, and as a result, we think that the number is going to be over this total (and over all of the posted totals for what it is worth). Even a team like the Florida Gators, a No. 7 seed could really do a lot of damage and get into the Final Four, and if that’s the case, there is sure to be a very high number in the double digits for the total number of the seeds that are going to New Orleans.
