Last year I thought I would be clever and actually use the vegas lines to help me predict my winners for the first round games to get a leg up on my tournament brackets.

It did not work.

Should have went with favorite colors.

As for who is favored to win each region, you'll notice these odds by no means are according to seeds. Gamblers don't abide by what the selection committee decides in arranging the bracket.
