I'm going to agree with David on this one. I don't see any team actually coming out with wins in the Eastern Division. I didn't see the board matchups yet and normally I don't vote until I see them, but this time I'm breaking that habit.
Monday, November 1st:
Boston vs. Baltimore: 2-2 (Boston goes ahead on a draw)
N.E. vs. N.Y.: 2-2 (N.E. goes on with a draw. Privately though, as a person living in N.J., I'm rooting for N.Y.
)
Wednesday, November 3rd:
Miami vs. Chicago: 2-2(Chicago goes on with a draw)
Arizona vs. Seattle: 2-2(Arizona advances with a draw)

A quick note: I noted mottsauce has made predictions in post #8 this week. The time stamp on the post says 04:37pm (Time stamps for me are Mountain). That would make the predictions for tonight's (Monday's) games past the deadline of 6:30pm ET (4:30pm MST here).
I will message David, so that he may double check the time stamp for me. I will be able to count the predictions for Wednesday, but if the time stamp is correct, I will not be able to accept Monday's predictions. 
sorry about that! didn't think that it would make much difference since the games hadn't started yet.
it's ok motts. At least Wednesday's are in. I'd be happy to give any games I win Monday over to your total, if the Admins would allow that

4. Arizona Scorpions vs Seattle Sluggers 2-2, Seattle advance
An all New England final huh?
I was really hoping defending champ N.Y. would pull it out, but that didn't happen. Since I don't watch sports anymore, I was hoping for another N.Y. USCL chess title. Perhaps next year.
