We saw a pair of double digit seeds win outright on the first day of the NCAA Tournament, and several favorites won and failed to cover. That's a sample size of one freaking day. Dating back to 1985 #3 seeds have won 85 percent of their first round matchups, and the average margin of victory is over 14 points per game. It's the #5 seeds perceived to be the most vulnerable, which likely influences the point spread. I expect a major correction on Day 2 of the tournament, and I'll take the ACC regular season champs just to win straight up here as the #5 seed. Drake may well be a great Mid Major team, but are they Duke? Miami was 1-1 SU and 2-0 ATS versus Duke in the regular season.
