Quantum over Tombstone

You have a lot of guts picking that upset. I just don't see them being tough enough to take hits from Tombstone. I saw what Quantum did to Valkyrie, and Team Valkyrie actually revealed in an AMA on r/BattleBots that Quantum's crusher without its tooth still had enough force to crumple Valkyrie's weapon motor. Quantum could probably do the same to Tombstone if it can survive a hit from Tombstone and get a grip on it... but I just don't see it being tough enough.

Minotaur over Hydra

That's an upset that I see a lot of people picking. I have no idea how to pick that because we have no idea what Hydra's durability against spinners is like. I can't bring myself to pick against Hydra, but at the same time, it's so unpredictable that I wouldn't be surprised if Minotaur won.

the only two upsets I see are HUGE and SOW

Those are the only two upsets that I would feel comfortable enough in picking. But like I said above, I think Minotaur could beat Hydra because of the uncertainty of Hydra's durability, and Death Roll vs. Yeti might be a crapshoot decided by who lands the first big hit.

i feel bad for Whiplash. they are one of my favorite bots but i honestly don't see how they will be able to win against Huge.

I think HUGE does have an advantage, but due to Whiplash's disc being on the end of its lifting arm, it might be the only spinner capable of hitting HUGE directly on its fragile center body. I saw some people on r/BattleBots who were saying they felt bad for HUGE due to the matchup for that reason.

Or HUGE's bar could just rip that lifting arm clean off. Who knows? We'll find out tomorrow.
