March Madness research

NCAA Tournament projections built for the bracket and the futures board.

Single-elimination variance is real. The board still starts from projected scores, opponent-adjusted efficiency and fair prices — then extends that same framework into national champion and Most Outstanding Player markets.

How March is handled

The tournament is treated as its own market.

01

Matchup projection

Each game gets an expected score from tempo, offensive and defensive efficiency, and the path already played — not a seed-only heuristic.

02

Fair price

Model probability becomes an American fair number so the available sportsbook line can be judged against something concrete.

03

Futures layer

Champion and MOP prices are reviewed with timing included. A future is only released when the price and the window justify the risk.

04

Documented card

Picks members see the line, price, book and unit size at release. Results feed the same transparent record used the rest of the season.
