NCAA Tournament 2023 bracket: Computer simulation shares surprising upsets, March Madness picks, and sleepers
Winning back-to-back titles in college basketball is a difficult task. The Kansas Jayhawks can become the first team to repeat since the Florida Gators (2006-07) when they take the court as a No. 1 seed in the 2023 NCAA Tournament bracket. The Jayhawks, however, have a challenging draw in the West Region, with No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 Gonzaga and No. 4 UConn all capable of making a deep run in the 2023 March Madness bracket. Plus, recent history indicates Kansas could be in for a letdown at the NCAA Tournament 2023. In four of the last five NCAA Tournaments, the defending champion has been eliminated in the first or…

2023 NFL Two-Round Mock Draft: Saints get their QB in second round, Lions and Seahawks have four picks
Alabama • Jr • 6’4″ / 243 lbs Projected Team Chicago PROSPECT RNK 1st POSITION RNK 1st The Bears moved on from Robert Quinn before the trade deadline so they’ll be in the market for an edge rusher this offseason, and Will Anderson is in the same pre-draft conversations as Chase Young and Nick Bosa when it comes to best non-QB players in a class. Alabama • Jr • 6’0″ / 194 lbs Projected Team Houston PROSPECT RNK 3rd POSITION RNK 1st Bryce Young might be historically undersized by successful NFL QB standards but we don’t care. He’s been that good for Alabama, dragging that team to victory just about…

Prisco’s Week 16 NFL picks: Vikings edge Giants, 49ers roll over Commanders, Chiefs crush Seahawks
Week 15 was not good to me with my picks. In fact, it was one of my worst weeks of the season. Ouch. So much for getting on a hot streak in the final month. But it’s Christmas week, which means the best present I can give you all is a bunch of winners — and that’s what I intend to do. But first, a look back at last week’s disaster. I went 11-5 with my straight-up picks, 5-10-1 with my against the spread expert picks and 1-3-1 with my Best Bets as part of the Pick-Six podcast. PS: Two of my best bets were the Patriots — thanks crazy…

Prisco’s Week 13 NFL picks: 49ers cool off Tua’s Dolphins, Chiefs get revenge on Bengals in one-point thriller
The trifecta almost came through last week. I went 11-5 straight up, 3-2-1 with my best bets as part of the Pick Six Podcast, but went 8-8 with my CBSSports.com expert picks. Why couldn’t the Packers score late to get the cover, rather than kicking that field goal? As it is, it was another solid week. The 3-2-1 raises my best-bet record to a sizzling 40-27-3. That I will take. My ATS record overall is now 82-90-8 and my straight-up record is 106-74-0. We are into December games now, which means it’s crunch time down the stretch. It also means it’s time for the contenders to really emerge on the field and…
