I'd have to agree, Newton has the most established teams with very quick bin grabbers (1678, 3310 ect.) going into the event. If I had to pick right now, I would probably pick the Newton winners to be one of the tougher alliances on Einstein. However all the predictions with bin grabbers really can't be made until Thursday or Friday when teams will have them integrated and tested.
On a divisional level, in terms of pure scoring power as others have said, Carson takes the cake. Unfortunately, other divisions don't have a very big advantage by having a higher mid and lower pack this year. Due to the nature of the game (small field, score ceiling) 2 high level robots are all that is needed to win (if you get cans, big if) and in many cases will be more efficient.
