We are back with a brand new edition of "Pong A Long Picks" and this time we are taking NCAA brackets by storm with a whole new twist. We have built a robotic super-picking computer algorithm that chooses games based on historical data. Seriously. So to really make it interesting, we have put put our expert gambler (not really - we have a losing record historically) up against our resident "Deep Blue".

So we are going to give $75 to our computer and $75 to our Pong A Long picker and see who comes out on top. So here we go - Round 1 picks away!
