Unlock the Secrets of March Madness with the Revolutionary Opta Analyst Predictor Bracket!

It doesn’t seem like justice. You should get more credit for taking a chance no one else takes. 

Now you do. 

Enter the Opta Analyst Predictor Bracket. The bigger the upset, the higher the score. But it’s not based on seeding. It’s based on data-driven win probability and the likelihood of each team advancing to each round based on its potential matchups. 

Here’s how it works: Our supercomputer runs simulations of the 2025 NCAA Tournament to determine how likely it is that a particular team will reach a particular round. We’re doing this for the men’s and women’s tournaments. If you pick a team that has a 70% chance of advancing past the first round and that team wins, you’ll receive 30 points (100% minus the percentage chance your selection will advance). If it has a 45% chance of advancing past the second round to the Sweet 16 and again advances, you’ll get 55 points. If it has a 20% chance of reaching the Elite Eight and you get that pick right, you’ll get 80 points.
