Alirez has too many landmines.  He won't make the finals.

Lee will wrestle to at least 5th place.  My bet is he gets to the Gold match and MFFs (seed protection).  He is there to steal a spot.  Unless he is hurt, he is taking 2nd at worst.

Pantaleo will have the gas after his first match.  Just get through that and he will be okay.  It's if he loses on Day 1 that it will be a problem.  If he makes the finals, I think he has enough time where he will be just fine.

Monday isn't losing to Shields.

Ringer is my (safe) pick as well.  He only typically loses to stronger, more athletic guys (at 86 KG).  McIntosh is the only one that fits that bill on his side of the bracket and I just don't think he is good enough to get it done.

Nate couldn't beat a one-armed Moore.  He isn't beating a healthy Moore.  In fact, I think there is a good chance Schultz or Cassioppi beats Nate.  Nate loses matches all the time.  He wins a lot, too... but he loses all the time as well.

Kerk doesn't need to beat Bradley, he just needs to place Top 5.  I think it is up in the air if we see Kerk wrestle Bradley if Bradley makes the finals opposite him.  It is a lose-lose for Kerk.  Bradley is a big, stronk 125 KG guy.  If it is anyone else across from him, I think Kerk wrestles the finals.

And Bradley injured Cassar 4 years ago.  Bad mojo.

Spencer Lee is the most interesting storyline this Olympic year. Hailed as the next coming since high school. He has had an unusual career thus far with some tremendous success, some major bumps in th

Starocci can, and does, assume he will just win NCAAs. Has said this was his plan.

One thing that I thoroughly enjoyed about that match was the intensity that Bradley had.  He was all gas, no brakes... even after Cassar was injured - "MAN STRENGTH!"

When he realized Cassar was injured the coach in him kicked in and he showed class.  You could tell he felt bad.

It is a thing! When I was coaching (d2/d3 college and high school) and had a Dad-bod, athletes who looked like statues of Greek gods and/or could lift a ton of weight would comment on how strong I was.  And I didn't even feel particularly powerful for most of my college career (and was very average).

Counterpoint. Alirez is the landmine. Alirez wins it all.
