Why is March madness so maddening? The reason March Madness is so maddening is because of the unpredictability there have been number one teams lose in the first round to 16th seeds, there haves been time where zero number one teams make it to the Elite 8 and there have even been eighth seeds make it to the finals and win. March Madness is considered unpredictable but there is one man who has gotten close.

Predicting the results of March Madness is one of the hardest things to do. There is a one in 9.2 quintillion chance of getting a completely right bracket, that is insane odds and it is not exactly in your favor, not the least. But, there is a man who has gotten close, Gregg Nigl; he got 49 out of 49 games right before he got his first prediction wrong with Purdue beating Tennessee in overtime in the sweet sixteen.

There has never been a correct bracket in history according to the NCAA but there is still is a one percent chance out of a lot. But, there is also a chance for you to make March Madness a little less maddening by betting your family members in predicting March Madness. Here is how you do it: first look at their record and division. Some divisions are better than others because you can have a team with only a five loss season, but they may be playing horrible teams. Also look at their schedule and see how they faced teams with different strengths. Think about what team wants it more, who looks more intense in their games and who is fluent from week to week. But, if you still have trouble thinking of what player on each team would close a close game, who would step up if it is a close game then decide between the two.
