Predictions Week 2: Slamming on the Brakes

[Looking Forward]

Quick update after Friday:
Both 1730 and 935 are 4-1 and in the top 5 in KC. 2334 is the only undefeated left in Missouri this weekend (5-0, currently #2). 1996 is 5-1 and currently #1.
987 is slaying in SD, with an astounding 8-0 record and the top score (120) and top ranking. 968 is the only other undefeated, 6-0-1 as the #2. 330, 610, and 1717 are all currently above .500 as well.
Even though I put a ton of confidence in 229, they are struggling. 2228 is also having some trouble. 67, 1126, and 365 are all in the Top 8, and 68 is sitting just on the outside as #9.
1731 may only be 4-2 and #14 in VCU, they are the best team in the field and my favorite to win tomorrow if they can avoid being paired with current #1 seed 1793. 1086 is #2 and their twin 384 is right beneath them at the 3rd seed. Both teams stand poise to make a run at the championship if 1793 mucks up the alliances enough. 1610 and 359 aren't hurdling well but both sit with only one loss each, in the top 9. 1655 is easily the best racer, and could have a huge impact on the eliminations if in the right alliance.
39 is 6-0 and #2 in Arizona, with 60 tagging close behind (5-1, #4). 1726 is fairing well at 4-2, but 125 is struggling at 1-5 and is in the bottom four teams.
