I am Using the Allstate Bracket Predictor to Help Me Win My March Madness Tournament

March 15, 2017

On the 16th of this month the 2017 NCAA Men’s Division 1 Basketball Tournament will begin, and I am teaming up with Allstate to kick it off. I have to admit that I am relying on the Allstate Bracket Predictor to help me crack the tournament code. I am not that well versed in college basketball, other than I know that Texas A&M is one of the trending schools right now. I am partial to my home state for any sport.

Allstate Bracket Predictor

In 2016, apparently, no one had a perfect tournament bracket of the 40 million people who filled one out. I intend to break the code with Allstate’s expert analysis tool. My goal is to get my kids in on this too so we can make a fun project out of #MarchMayhem Madness. We’ll watch the games as we get closer to the final 4. Since none of us are up on our college players, I think we’ll go with choosing teams based on our favorite school mascots.

Mascots are symbols of good luck, usually portrayed by animals, people, or certain objects. It was in the late 1800s that these good luck symbols started showing up on the fields and courts of school sports to encourage fans to cheer or to heckle the opposing team. Mascotting is considered a talent and an important job these days.

College basketball games are crazy unpredictable, so why not have some fun with the mascot theme. The NCAA website has a section devoted entirely to analysis of wins based on type of mascot. You can check it out here to see just how seriously (or not so) novices like me take this stuff. I think the kids will enjoy checking out what a Reveille or a Buckeye is and learning more about the history and art of mascots. Maybe we’ll even learn a little something about college basketball in the process.

The more I think this through, the more excited I am getting. With the help of the Allstate Bracket Predictor, we can easily check how our picks measure up. I have tested it out already with the 2016 lineup and it seems pretty easy to navigate. Of course, my kids may be even savvier than I when it comes to these kinds of online statistical analysis tools. You can do this too by checking out the Allstate Bracket Predictor on Allstate’s website. I think this may be a great crash course in probability and statistics for our family.

First thing’s first, remove all distractions bef First thing’s first, remove all distractions before driving your car. I’ve partnered with @TxDOT to remind you that all distractions – whether texting, eating, grooming, having a conversation, etc. – can be dangerous. #ad   That is why my family and I are also taking the AT&T It Can Wait pledge at http://www.ItCanWait.com/ to never drive distracted. Will you join us?   #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ItCanWait

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
