We’ve seen bluebloods fall to programs most of America hadn’t heard of ahead of the Big Dance (think 16-seed Fairleigh Dickinson toppling 1-seed Purdue last season). It feels great to somehow predict the big upset on your bracket. It feels even better when you’ve wagered on the underdog to come out on top.
