Round 1 Predictions

Zolomon vs. Majkut

61-55

Upset Chance: 37% (To be fair though 9 over 8 isn't really an upset)

Last time these two teams played Majkut won by over 30 handing Zolomon their biggest loss of the season. Since then however Zolomon has trended upwards and Majkut has trended downward. I can say for certain this game will be more competitive, but Zolomon has been playing too good lately for them not to win.

Southwick vs. Gingras

41-40

Upset Chance: 51%

I can see this going all three ways, a nail biter, a Southwick blowout, or a Gingras blowout. These teams are about as even as you can get. Southwick is a little better on paper, but Gingras is playing with way more momentum right now. Again to me this one is coin toss, but I lean the slightest amount toward Gingras.

O'Wiley vs. McNamara

65-41

Upset Chance 18%

McNamara couldn't have gotten a worse break in these brackets. They were an upset potential team with the addition of Peter White, however the fact that they ran into O'Wiley is just the worst break they could have possibly gotten. O'Wiley is for real and is probably the most for real team playing in this first round, and barring a surprise no show from Sam Boudreau this should be a win for O'Wiley.

Bernard/Hastings vs. Hecht
51-49
Upset Chance 6%
Even though the upset chance is below 50% I still am picking Hecht. I just have a feeling about them I don't know why. I think the Hecht roster just haven't all shined on the same day, but the playoffs are a whole different animal. Mark DeBinder could very well find his stride again, and I believe they are capable of pulling it off. I believe in Hecht and I'm taking those 6% odds. Sometimes when a team has no logical reason to win, they'll win,

TeDuits/Estes vs. Meyers
44-31
Upset Chance 29%

I think this game is going to be closer people think. Team Meyers is playing the trap game role and I think they can surprise you. However TeDuits/Estes wasn't a good draw for them as they are coming in red hot after a win to the number one team. I can see a scenario where the game is tied with like 4 minutes left and TeDuits/Estes goes on a furious run to end the game. That's my guess, but I'm picking T/E.
