But for those looking for some last-minute advice … or those fortunate enough to be in Vegas and looking to let it ride on a select game or two, you’re in luck.
FOX Sports Live’s ‘Let it Ride’ team is in Sin City, gearing up for the Big Dance. And while they’re at it, they’ve found some friends in the desert with a little experience at letting it ride, and they’re sharing their gut feelings on the games.
Tired of the 13-, 12-, and 11-seed upset talk and looking for a 4, 5 or 6 you can depend on? The video above offers plenty of insight from pretty sharp folks.
If you’re looking a little further down the road, here is who our pros like all the way into the Elite Eights -- picks our FOX Bracket Challenge players find most appealing.
And finally, famed poker pro / celeb / brat Phil Hellmuth pulls no punches when it comes to which college he hitches his trailer to. And this season, that school’s sitting pretty in the rankings. But the Poker Brat spends plenty of time in Vegas and rubs elbows with plenty of coaches … he’s about more than just the Badgers (he's from Wisconsin originally).
Here are some teams Hellmuth has his eyes on.
And if you’re into dogs making tournament picks, FOX Sports Live host Charissa Thompson has you covered there, too.
For those of you not in Vegas or looking to score some sweet prizes and big-time bragging rights, be sure to enter the FOX Bracket Challenge before it’s too late.
