So here goes nothing. I did no research for this one. In fact, I didn't even pick it. My neighbor has a beagle named Archie (not making that up). I quickly got together 68 placards with team logos on them, put a dollop of peanut butter on it and had him lick one of them. The theory is that this dog, who also did no research, but probably watched a couple of games, can do as good as I can (or Jon can) with research.

I'm game. "Archie" makes some pretty good picks, outside of the fact that he's in love with the big 10 . . . must be because he was raised in the midwest. Amazing how he went for the peanut butter on all of the 1 and 2 seeds in the first round.
The odds of him correctly picking each of those individual matchups are 50/50, and there are 8 of them, so the handicap on that happening would be +15000 (150-1) (and that is just the vegas odds), the actual probability is more like +30000 (300-1) against.
I'll post a quick article with mine, and where Archie made some fatal mistakes (and why) Just after the tournament starts. (Some of my buddies are actually reading this, so I don't want to share my actual picks yet).
You should rename Archi "fucking Nostradamus" (or D.J.).
Archie failed too, but at least he picked MoreHead!
