I wouldn't count on almost any of these being at all accurate, but it is fun to look at. The score an alliance will get will also depend on the alliance it is facing, which isn't taking into account with OPR.

Magnets is right in saying that, for this prediction only and not in real matches, that OPR is a team's ability to contribute points for an alliance. However, even though it's not perfect, there is still a correlation between matches won and ability to contribute points. Look at Joel's graph or the graph in my spreadsheet and you'll see that, in general, teams that can score more, will seed higher, which makes a lot of sense. Of course there will be exceptions, but teams will be scouting to look for good teams seeded low.
