It’s time of the year again when over 60 million of Americans will be filling out a March Madness Bracket during their work hours as part of an office tournament pool.  This is a concern for some businesses believe that it is a waste of company time and resources. 

In fact, 86% of workers will end up filling out a tournament bracket and 56% of these workers intend on spending at least one hour taking care of their bracket which according to Wallethub.com, a financial tools and informational website, companies in the U.S. will $1.9 billion in unproductive workers during March Madness this year. 

In most cases, companies turn a blind eye to these festivities as it is considered good for moral and bring excitement to the office.  However, not every company will lose productivity during the NCAA Basketball tournament.  Of course, these are mostly companies in Houston, the host city of the Final Four where they expect to make $300 million from over 70,000 fans that will be visiting during the event.

We are still more than a week out from Super Bowl 50 (there is still time to get in on 1Vice.ag’s $10,000 Super Bowl Squares Contest with a minimum $400 deposit) and we will certainly get into the big game next week, but for now we’ll take a look at everything else that has happened in the NFL over the past few weeks.

The big off-the-field news over the past month has been relocation, with the St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, and Oakland Raiders all hopeful of moving their franchises to Los Angeles.

The Rams made the strongest case in the eyes of the NFL owners, although San Diego has been given the option to join the Rams. San Diego must decide in mid-March if they will indeed move. That leaves Oakland to decide their fate, with rumors now pointing to San Antonio as a possible landing spot for the Raiders.

Tom Brady is a name that is synonymous with the New England Patriots and today it will remain that way for another 2 years. Brady with six Super Bowl appearance and four rings since he started playing with them back in 2000 is one of the Patriots' greatest asset and most football handicapping exerts agree that this must be a relief for the Patriots.

Brady and the Patriots have agreed to a two year extension that will keep him with the Patriots through the 2019 season.  Despite Brady turning 39 in August, the Patriots seem to have a lot of faith in him and Brady himself believes that he still has what it takes to bring the Patriots to another Super Bowl.

Brady is currently making $9 million for 2016 and will receive $10 million next year with a cap of $15 million and $16 million respectively.  This new 2 year extension should lower that cap while at the same time increase the cash flow.

As we count down the hours until Super Bowl 50 kicks off, there are two big stories emerging. The first is the details coming out about Peyton Manning’s alleged PED use, and the second – and most important for Super Bowl bettors – is what side the smart money has come in on for the big game.

Early betting came in heavy on the Carolina Panthers, with some online sportsbooks taking in as much as 90% of their action on the favorites. But the sharp action has since come in big on the underdog Broncos in the hours leading up to the big game, and online sportsbooks such as BetOnline.ag have dropped the Panthers to a 4.5-point favorite.
