I'll try my hand at some predictions
125- I'll go nc state due to Sam's recent struggles, but Camacho hasn't looked like a world beater either. Sam has got a real chance. 0-3
133- Korbin all day. With bonus. 4-3
141- Jack has the number by his name, but his resume is really similar to Gerardi. I'll take Gerardi in an upset. 7-3
149- I think Andonian gets one over Wilson this year, but his absence has me worried about what kind of shape he's in. I'll take Wilson here, but Andonian at ACCs. 7-6
157- absolute toss up. Both guys look great, but Scott looks a bit more dynamic. I think Brady can be stingy on defense and win a 1 takedown match. 10-6
165- nc state is a favorite, but Ulrey is improving and seems to be able to get to anyone's legs. Stay out of scrambles, don't give up dumb back points, and we've got an upset. 13-6
174- the main event. I hope they can end at this weight. I'm going with the national champ. He just needs to wrestle the full 7 minutes. 16-6
184- these guys are always close, but Hidlay just looks better this year. Bolen may surprise- he looked great early this year without back to back weigh ins- but I'm not totally convinced that's his only issue. 16-9
197- another one with upset potential. Trumble loses matches he shouldn't. Howard looks improved, and I'm pretty sure Smith handled him in freeatyle. But I'll go NC state. 16-12
285- Traxler is impressing this year. This is my second most confident pick for tech behind Korbin, but anything can happen at heavyweight. 19-12
Definitely some homer picks, and I'm sure I'll be wrong on a few. But tech has a few different paths to victory. Both teams always come to wrestle for this one, and it should be great to watch.
