I think this is a year a 5 seed plus makes it to the final game

See I am the opposite. I think that everyone is saying this is the year of parity and anyone can win it.
Nope. I think outside the annual 12/5 upset, (and 8/9 7/10 don't count), I really think things will stay close to chalk as far as 1/2 seeds go.

Louisville -9.5 vs Wichita St is the 2ND biggest Final Four favorite in 64-team era (since 1985). Duke -11 vs Mich St (1999)

Didn't Duke lose that 1999 game to Michigan State? Was that the Mateen Cleaves squad?
Also, that Syracuse/Michigan line must have been set to entice the money to come in. I would think the game is a pure toss up with Syracuse slightly favored, considering how they've been playing.

Hey Crash, how many days between you winning the football league & next Monday nights Finals in Atlanta? Basically 3 months or so? So the deadline to pay DS without being called a shitbag welcher is 3 months from next Monday. Seems fair. Although to be fair, had DS not won this, you'd still be a long way from seeing your money.

I never had any problems with DS paying the 1 or 2 other times he lost --dont know if he paid you rat when you won
I figured he was just trying to rig some way to list it as a business expense before he mailed me a check
