My predictions
125 - Mackall wbd 3-0 ISU
133 - Gomez wbd 6-0 ISU - this match could go either way. Erneste is dangerous and I could see Gomez going to his back, but I’m picking a close win.
141 - Eierman wbd 6-3 ISU - have to watch out for the cradles here
149 - Degen wbd 9-3 ISU - another gossip, but Degen is too funky
157 - Jacques wbd 9-6 ISU - will be a close match
165 - Flynn wmd 10-9 Mizzou - need to limit the bonus here
174 - Lewis wbf 16-9 Mizzou
184 - Colbray wbd 16-12 Mizzou
197 - Miklus wbd 16-15 Mizzou
285 - Elam wbd 19-15 Mizzou
This will be a fun dual. 33, 41, 49, and 57 should all be close matches. I think ISU needs to pick off 3 of those matches and limit the bonus at other weights to get the win
Since you are one of the guys who actually knows what he is talking about, are there particular matches that you think could be affected by a great crowd. Somebody for us who may take it to another level with monstrous fan support? Or somebody for them who might crumble because of the intimidation of the crowd?
