My picks:

Archimedes: 2056, 33, 2444, 2158

Curie: 254, 624, 11, 1718

Galileo: 67, 148, 1730, 3937

Newton: 1114, 1285, 341, 3847

G vs C, Cuire
A vs. N, Archimedes
Winner: Archimedes

4 team alliances this year.

Ok, here are my crazy predictions.

Arch: 2nd seed 2056-1625-175-2067
Curie: 3rd seed 254-177-4055-1629
Galileo: 1st seed 67-973-179-494
Newton: 1st seed 1114-971-341-25

C beats A in 3
G beats N in 2
G beats C in 2

973's goalie post and 179's terrible match schedule end up making the difference for this powerful alliance. Plus 67 has learned from their loss in MSC and will not let defense stand in their way.

177 continues where they left off after a less than spectacular 1st seed "scorches" 254 into the 3rd seed captain.

2056 and 1625 pair up for a second Einstein trip together, but again only win the second of the three match-ups against 177.

341 falls in the selections similar to at MAR Champs giving that alliance a breeze to Einstein, and the strategic power behind the glass brings them within just a few points of a win in both Einstein matches.

Can't wait to see all of this proven wrong over the next few days. Good luck teams!

I could not agree more. Yes I have some local personal bias to team 20 but from watching many webcast this year and seeing them all season they are one of the most complete teams around. Along with the fact that they have outstanding strategy and execution. I think they are the most underrated team going into the championship.Especially after winning 2 regionals.

Best of luck team 20

About the only thing they can't do is a point blank low goal high shot. Barring some kind of catastrophe I don't expect them to escape the first round.

Once EWCPCast airs I'll make predictions based on the bracket generated in the show. The show bracket ignores strength of schedule, carried teams, bad scouting so it may not be the most accurate but this is for fun anyway, right?

I sense no Michigan bias, whatsoever.

Little late in the game but here's my predictions for the Champs based off of predicted final rankings and seedings

ARC: 2485, 1625, 175, 1671
CUR: 254, 469, 2403, 772
GAL: 67, 1717, 1023, 558
NEW: 1114, 610, 997, 5188

ARC over CUR
GAL over NEW

ARC over GAL

World Champs: 2485, 1625, 175, 1671
Finalists: 67, 1717, 1023, 558

I like this one. I nominate this for Official Einstein Prediction of Chief Delphi.

Hey, thanks for the mention! My team would be ecstatic if this happened. No Pacific Northwest team has ever made it to Einstein.

I have to give some major props to LoweIQ for your prediction on Newton! We ended up 3rd alliance captain and picked 846, 330, and 1507. You got them all right except the 4th team member. Wow!
