Picking every single winner on one of the first two days of the NCAA Tournament? That’s a bit difficult…albeit not impossible. After all, there was not a single perfect bracket on the entire internet after the first round. But when you only have to pick 8 games successfully instead of 16? That’s well within the realm of possibility. And that’s exactly what we are trying to do as March Madness wraps up second-round action on Sunday.
The second half of the Sweet 16 berths are set to be handed out, so let’s celebrate a huge afternoon and evening on the hardwood by going big. Here is my millionaire parlay for Sunday, and you can also find our March Madness basketball picks for every game.

Pittsburgh Panthers ML (+180) over Xavier Musketeers
To say that I was more impressed with Pittsburgh than Xavier in the first round would be a gross understatement. As usual, the ACC might step up in the tournament against all expectations.

Kansas State Wildcats ML (+130) over Kentucky Wildcats
As we have already seen in this tournament, seeding means very little. Still, I love the value on the #3 seed as a considerable underdog against the #6 seed.

Marquette Golden Eagles ML (-145) over Michigan State Spartans
This could be one of the best games of the second round; the winner will have a very real shot to reach the Final Four. The Golden Eagles are the hotter team right now, so I will stay on their bandwagon.

UConn Huskies ML (-166) over Saint Mary’s Gaels
Seemingly everyone loves UConn. I’m not as sold as the masses, but the Huskies should at least be good enough to reach the Sweet 16.

Baylor Bears ML (-110) over Creighton Bluejays
This is another #3 vs #6 showdown that looks like a complete tossup. In what is almost sure to be a close game, I’ll ride with the proven winner in March that is Baylor to get it done down the stretch.

Florida Atlantic Owls ML (-900) over Fairleigh Dickinson Knights
Yes, it’s Florida Atlantic vs Fairleigh Dickinson for a spot in the Sweet 16. Watching FDU make a real Cinderella run would be fun, but I’m not about to risk this parlay on them.
Miami Hurricanes ML (+106) over Indiana Hoosiers
Miami has tons of talent and head coach Jim Larranaga is smart enough to draw up an effective enough game-plan to contain Indiana’s Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Gonzaga Bulldogs ML (-194) over TCU Horned Frogs
Gonzaga generally underachieves during March Madness amidst wild expectations. Maybe with expectations lower this time around, the Zags will finally deliver. They better come to play on Sunday, because this should be a great game.
