Just for shits and giggles. Everybody will be doing brackets of course. These games are difficult to pick straight up, let alone against the spread. Let's see who can guess...err, pick the best against the spread.
Pretty simple. I'll post all the games and the spread for each matchup. You pick which team you like to cover. We'll keep going until the championship game. Winner might get a prize, but will more than likely just get to claim

Few things:
1) You will get 0 points for a push.
2) For the first round only, there will be two "bonus point" games in which you will earn 3 points by correctly picking the winner against the spread. There will be one bonus point selection on Thursday and one on Friday.
3) No firm deadline. Just get your picks in before tipoff, doucheholes.
