Early on in Thursday’s NCAA Tournament Round of 64 action, a social media post revealed that running back Bijan Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons had an ideal racket. Robinson’s old team, the Texas Longhorns, went on to win the national title as the No. 7 seed.
It’s a brave decision to pick an underdog to blow up the nets at the Final Four, but perhaps it’s time to put our faith in the rising second-year NFL player when it comes to college basketball now that we just have the late-game window to consider.
Whether he can wager on sports alongside players like Dez Bryant or Kayshon Boutte is still up in the air. It’s too early and not close enough to the football field to dig Shohei Ohtani here.
It doesn’t matter if Bijan placed a wager on March Madness. This person correctly predicted the first 12 games of the 2024 NCAA Tournament, including three double-digit seeds—Oregon, Duquesne, and No. 11—as well as the incredible upset of Kentucky by 14th-seeded Oakland.

To be honest, I feel horrible jinxing Bjian in this way, but if he could somehow make it through Day 1 without any problems on his bracket, that would be a real accomplishment.
