March Madness is set to reach a fevered pitch in April as the best remaining teams in the nation collide in San Antonio. This year's iteration of the Final Four and National Championship Game will be played at the Alamodome for the fifth time overall and first since 2018. 

More than 64,000 frenzied fans are expected to attend the title game, but the question remains, who will they see? The Duke Blue Devils earned the No. 1 seed in the East Region and are the betting favorites after compiling a dazzling 31-3 record during the regular season. Fellow top seeds Auburn, Florida, and Houston are also still alive and kicking, making this just the second time since 1985 that all four No. 1 seeds have advanced to the semifinals.

Looking for more adrenalin-fueled sports action? You're in luck! The Final Four is just one of dozens of must-see events from an action-packed month. Sports fans can also look forward to the NBA and NHL playoffs, the Masters, and the NFL Draft.

Ryan Murphy began his love affair with sports journalism at the age of nine when he wrote his first article about his little league baseball team. He has since authored his own weekly column for Fox Sports and AskMen and has created successful campaigns for some of the biggest and most trusted brands in the world including Walt Disney, HBO, the WWE, the NHL, and the NFL.

“Murph,” as he’s known to friends, began his journey in sports betting in 2017, and enjoyed a highly rewarding tenure at Churchill Downs, where he oversaw the creation of the TwinSpires Edge and served as the publication’s first editor-in-chief. His nose for news and ability to find and nurture talent helped turn the site into a major player within the online gambling industry.

Although Ryan loves examining odds movement and breaking down matchups, he’s also a prolific creative writer whose critically acclaimed stories have been published in 21 books and have been featured on more than 170 radio stations and 40 newspapers. His latest book, My Life’s a Joke, is a laugh-out-loud memoir about the epic fails that thickened his skin and paved the way for a successful 15-year career as a touring stand-up comedian.

Ryan’s top piece of advice to sports bettors: “Bet with your head, not your heart. It pains me to be pragmatic, but blind loyalty has no place in sports wagering.”
