[2014] CMP prop bets returns

Just for fun (or year long bragging rights), I'm going to post a bunch of true/false statements. Feel free to answer each one, we'll see who does the best.

If you have a suggestion for a bet, also post it. Please try to keep the outcome about even odds, and verifiable through posted numbers after the event.
Now that divisions have been released I think it's appropriate to revive the prop bet thread from last year as many people seemed to enjoy it (and efoote868 hasn't posted it yet). I also feel the need to defend my title

I'm defaulting to the same bets as last year with numbers adjusted for this years game. If you have any bets to propose post them below, the odds for each bet should be just about even for each side. Have fun!

1. The winning alliance on Einstein will be the Blue Alliance.
2. The winning alliance on Newton will have to play three or more finals matches.
3. The sum of the team numbers on the runner up alliance of Curie will be less than 3000.
4. The average elimination match score on Galileo will be 180.0 or more.
5. The average losing elimination match score on Archimedes will be 150.0 or more.
6. There will be a score of 350 or more during some qualification match at the Championship Event.
7. There will be a losing score of 200 or more during some qualification match at the Championship Event.
8. There will be a combined unpenalized(no fouls) score of 480 or more during some qualification match at the Championship Event.
9. There will be an elimination alliance formed where the sum of the team numbers will be 7500 or more.
10. The highest average OPR of any Championship Event division will be 40.0 or more.
11. The lowest average OPR of any Championship Event division will be 30.0 or less.
12. After Qualifications, Newton will have a team with an OPR of 110.0 or more.
13. After Qualifications, Curie will have a team with a CCWM of 100.0 or more.
14. After Qualifications, Archimedes will not have a team with an OPR of 0.0 or less.
15. After Qualifications, Galileo will not have a team with a CCWM of -20.0 or less.
16. The red alliance will win the first qualification match on Newton.
17. The blue alliance will win the first qualification match on Curie.
18. The red alliance will win the last qualification match on Archimedes.
19. The blue alliance will win the last qualification match on Galileo.
20. There will be an 8 seed upsetting a 1 seed during eliminations.
21. A non #1 seed (from their division) will win Einstein.

Tiebreaker #1: Guess the sum of the points scored on Einstein. Closest (higher or lower than actual) will win.
Tiebreaker #2: Guess the sum of the team numbers of the winning alliance on Einstein. Closest (higher or lower than actual) will win.

Note: I'm undecided as to whether or not to close bets before or after match schedules are announced. What would you guys prefer?
