125. Toss-up. Eddie has won 3 but they have been by a takedown at end or SV
133. Expect Seidel to bonus. How much bonus is question
141. Have to favor Jack regardless of whether Crook or Gorman goes
149 State has to be considered slight favorite here. (I consider it a toss-up)
157. Favorite VT here
165. If Burton goes VT slight favorite if church goes state big favorite
174. Big favorite by St. just hope he doesn’t major
184 very slight favorite to VT but close to a toss-up
197 very slight favorite to VT but close to toss-up. Sammy needs to get back to early season form
285. Favorite State. Hopefully he doesn’t major or worse pin Jimmy
Match could definitely go either way.

I'm picking Eddie, but he's bound to drop one at one point. Lots of tight matchups. 165 is a much tougher matchup than the previous result would indicate too, even if Burton goes. 197 and 285 are much tougher matchups than last time around.
I'm picking the good guys, but am not at all comfortable with it. I'm going Seidel can pile on the bonus points, and Gaj can flip his result to give us some breathing room.

I probably don't see us pulling it out. It's probably a 2 -4 point difference if everything goes the way I expect it to. Next year will not be close so this is the puppies last chance at a win against us for a while...

think that could be the difference.
If Eddie V drops his match to V Rob, then we're going to need to pick one up somewhere else (141 or 165 being most likely candidates), unless Seidel can get a fall, in which case we still have a shot.
I don't think they'll agree to it, but it'd be great to start at 133 and finish with HWT and 125. EV vs VR for the dual would be electric.

to get 3 TDs against Jimmy. Unless he gets a turn, I don't see it at HWT.

I don't think Trumble has gotten much better. He's obviously really, really good, but his higher ranking is reflective of the weight clearing out, not some big jump he's made. I think Jimmy's athleticism will give him issues.

I still stand by the statement that he's not significantly better than last year, where Jimmy gave him all he wanted. Trumble could blow the match open on top, but I expect it to be very competitive on the feet and for Jimmy to take neutral.

times. But I think Trumble wins the Natty this year in March.

I would love to start at 174- get Singleton off the scale. And then you know if you need Burton, or can save him for Oklahoma State.

They are heavy favorites at 174 and clear favorites at HWT. We should win 184 and 197 but those two aren't exactly trending well lately.
133, 157, 184, and 197 are must wins for us to have a chance. Need Seidel to bonus, which is good because he's good enough to do so. And we need another win somewhere. Hopefully Eddie big-brothers Robinson again and we get out of Raleigh with the win.
