The predictions are as good as any. Several certainties, however. Round 1 is too inclusive, a lot of participation trophies doled out. Round 2, the pretenders get eliminated. By round 3, you start seeing pretty much the same cast of characters every year and this is true in all the divisions. Every team is good. The preliminaries are over. Now is when it gets real. It becomes about matchups, systems, coaching, who's hot and "special" talent on a specific team. If any of these teams bring their "B" game Friday, they are cleaning out their lockers on Saturday. Let the fun begin.
