* Louisville  +1.5   vs    Florida

Well, I do love Billy D as a coach and he does have a good team that has started to really come on in this tourney, but I also think this is the year Pitino could do something with his squad.  I don't understand why his team is the underdog, because they beat a really good Mich St team and their defense plays lights out.  This should be a great match-up.

I think this Spartans team could be a special one and I actually have them winning the whole thing in my bracket.

Predicted Score : Spartans 72  Louisville 64

** Kentucky  -9   vs   Indiana
I like this Hoosiers team but the Wildcats are really good this year and will at least be back in the Final Four, and SHOULD win the whole thing.  Can Calipari finally do it?  I think they get some revenge for this year's buzzer beater loss in Indiana.

Predicted Score :  Wildcats 81  Hoosiers 64

I like the Bulls pulling the upset.  Straight up G

PEYTON MANNING

He is visiting today with the Tennessee Titans, whom I think have the best shot at signing him.  Think about it.  They have one of the best running backs, their defense is good, they have an emerging big threat WR in Kenny Britt, and the coach played ball with Peyton's dad (ties with the family).  It really doesn't have all that much to do with them playing the Colts twice, but if you think he doesn't want to beat them over and over for letting him go, think again.  He has an extreme competitive edge to him.  Remember when he said "You better draft me or I will come back and kick your butt" or something of that sort on an NFL Films thing they did on him.  He wants to go to a team that can win a SuperBowl quick and with Peyton, I think the Titans can be the top threat in the AFC, possibly.  Denver would probably be the team that has the second best chance, because of all the money they have, but do you really think he wants to go to a team whose back-up QB gets so much publicity.  We will see.  If I were Peyton, I'd really like Tennessee's formula and the fact that they were the only one of these teams who had a winning record last year without me.
