Remember that movie with Matthew McConaughey and Al Pacino? Two for the Money? Remember?

Well, right now I feel like McConaughey’s character after having gone 18-6 with my predictions in the quarterfinals. Would I bet my mother’s house on my picks? I don’t gamble. But if I did? Yes, and with my mother in it.

As I did last time, the predicted winners are in bold.
