March Madness Bracket Upset Predictions
March Madness bracket upset predictions are the key to having a successful, winning 2011 NCAA bracket. Picking nothing but the top seeds never gets you anywhere, because each year there are plenty of upsets along the way. The trick is knowing which upsets to predict, how many, and which match-ups are the most prone to upsets along the way.
The best place to start with March Madness bracket upset predictions is the opening round 5-12 match-ups. There is almost always at least one 5-12 upset that happens, so you need to pick accordingly. Numbers 13-16 are much rarer to pull off the upset, and it hardly ever happens with a number 15 or 16 knocking off a 2 or 1, respectively.
Meanwhile, the 8-9 first round match-up is basically a toss-up. In fact, the 9 seed wins a little bit more often! The 6-11 and 7-10 games are also prime opportunities for first round upsets.
From there, your March Madness bracket upset predictions can get a little bit more tricky. Keep in mind, it almost never works out that all number 1s reach the Final Four, or even the Elite 8. So don’t just pick the favorites, and feel free to find a hot or underrated lower seed and ride them to the top! If you pick the right team, then you can end up winning your bracket on the strength of one great string of upsets.
Your March Madness bracket upset predictions are always going to be crucial to your overall performance in your pool or challenge. Use the above guidelines and rules to help get you started, and then keep an eye out for which teams or individual players are most primed for huge performances.
