These predictions are probably going to be completely wrong and its just for fun. If you don't like them, go out and prove me wrong! Have fun making your own predictions!

I don't have time to do the entire thing but here are my division and overall winners.
Archimedes- Alliance 3
Curie- Alliance 5 (wins the whole thing)
Galileo- Alliance 4
Newton- Alliance 1 (beats Galileo)

This seems to be the common consensus. The eight seed seems so much stronger than so many higher seeds across all the divisions.
Likewise, if 8th seed Curie (624 987 3476 3015) wins in quarterfinals then they will go on to win Einstein.

A lot of this will probably end up being wrong, especially since I made a few risky picks. As others have said, I think whoever wins Curie Quarterfinal 1 will be at least finalists on Einstein if not champions. :p Definitely some great alliances at champs, and Einstein will be amazing.
Archimedes - Alliance 3
Newton - Alliance 1
Galileo - Alliance 5
Curie - Alliance 1
Newton 2-0's Curie on Einstein and wins the CMP.

You guys really shouldn't be counting out the #5 curie alliance. It seems on par with, if not better than, the #8 alliance.
But I agree that those 3 alliances seem to be the best out of all the divisions. The Curie curse has its work cut out for it.

Newton over Archimedes.
Gotta love that MSC alliance.
Shout-outs to Curie #1 (All-Sparks!) and Newton #7 (MakeShift!) to hopefully prove me wrong. I agree that if Curie #1 can get past the semis, they will win it all.

The entire red side of the bracket at Curie is just amazing. We'll see Einstein level gameplay in the quarters and semis at Curie. I think whoever can make it out of semifinals 1 at Curie will win it all.

No point in predicting einstein, it's too tough to tell, even if the consensus is curie winning it all. You can't count out the brilliant minds behind the glass.

The winner of 1 v 8 will be the winner of the division. Number 5 is also extremely talented and may put a stop to that.

You called all 4 Einstein alliances correctly. Nice calls.

With your spinning cylinder shooter, did you see variations in shots based more on cover wear, or inflation? I assume inflation.
I do remember seeing the crazy burnout you did on the zipper at CVR. I was waiting to see flames at any second!:D
