So every year I fill out a bracket, and every year RemorsefulBruinBabe makes picks based on colors and mascots and ends up crushing my bracket.  This year, I'm going to try something different; I'll still fill out a half assed bracket Thursday at 8:45AM,  ("I wish Jorge played hockey" on our yahoo pickem), but I'm also going to put some money down.  Specifically, I'm going to bet $5 on all 36 first round games.  My problem is that I've only watched about a dozen games this year, 95% of them featuring Jorge.  This is where you come in: I need to know which teams to bet on.  So if you know more about this year's NCAA field than I do, I would love your input on the games listed below.  Bonus points if you have strong feelings for a particular over/under, moneyline, or even a PARLAY.  I'll do a post detailing how much money I lost after the dust settles.  Thanks for the help!
