First Round: Friday picks

 Day one lived up to the March Madness moniker. 

After a topsy-turvy first day, we said goodbye to 18 players, while 19 folks chose to "do the dumb' and buy back in.  Those second chance entries bring our winner's pot up to $1312 and the charity pot to $338. 

There are definitely some favorites among today's picks that could really shake things up again today.  Today is the LAST day to buy back in after a loss (assuming you have not already lost on that entry).
