My Scott Tournament of Hearts Predictions

So Curling fever has swept around the world, thanks to the Olympics! Right now, the Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, is monopolizing the air waves. Three games a day all week, culminating with some (hopefully) exciting finals this weekend.

I feel like playing a little prediction game here. There are two draws left before the playoffs are set. Only the top four teams will qualify!

Right now, there are 6 teams in contention for those 4 spots. They are:

BC 8-2
Nova Scotia 7-2
Team Canada 7-3
Newfoundland 7-3
Alberta 6-3
Quebec 6-4

There are five games left that have any bearing on these standings. My winning preditions are in bold

Nova Scotia vs. New Brunswick
Nova Scotia vs. Quebec
Alberta vs. British Columbia
Alberta vs. Canada
Newfoundland vs. Ontario

Summing all that up, all six teams will qualify for at least tie-breakers.

1st- BC 9-2
2nd- Newfoundland 8-3
3rd- Nova Scotia 8-3
T-4th- Alberta 7-4
T-4th- Team Canada 7-4
T-4th- Quebec 7-4

Team Canada will play Quebec, and the winner will play Alberta for the final playoff spot.

Here's to hoping I'm right :)
