Frank Predicts the Midwest....

Lord Darth makes enigmatic French Fry prediction: "Let me tell ya, these pretzels are making me thirsty!"The Midwest (Tatooine) Bracket is already muddled, as several first round upsets make for an interesting 2nd-round.

First up, The Black Keys will face George "I will survive" Harrison. Harrison, who sank a 3-pointer in the closing moments of a double-overtime win over The Lyle Lovett's told the press corps: "As soon as I threw it up, I knew the game was in the bag." But the Black Keys are not taking The Harrison's lightly. "G. H. is from no Bush League" Dan "Red" Auerbach told bunch of bush-league reporters. "They play solid ball. We just have to be at the top of our game."PREDICTION: The Black Keys 72, The George Harrison's 60

In an amazing match-up of the #12 seed (Roy Wiley Hubbard....Hubbard) and #13 seed Regina Spektor, the sentimental favorite has to be The Spektor's. The Spektor's who ran out to a 17 point lead over The Clash, then were able to settle down and play "Commie Ball", are prepping for the upcoming battle. Spektor herself said "Hubbard can't carry my jock-strap", which seemed to stun the "BIKE" employees who were present at the interview. Clearly, the battle lines are being drawn, and with so much at stake, this could be one of the most exciting games on the program.PREDICTION: The Regina Spektor's 78, The Ray Wiley Hubbard's 76

Dan Johnston, who jumped out to an early lead over Jack Johnson, and never looked back, is taking on the Yo La Tengo. Yo La Tengo SHOULD be able to oust the pretender to the throne, but my instinct tells me that the road is not going to be easy. In fact...I can actually see The "DJ"s beating The Tengo in a defensive struggle.PREDICTION: The Dan Johnston's 66, The Yo La Tengo 63

The Led Zeppelin are preparing to take on #2 seeded She & Him. The Zeps were incredibly accurate from the floor, but needs to hold off She & Him's powerful offense, which allowed them to go on a 21-0 run at one point during their 77-62 victory over Coldplay.PREDICTION: The She & Him's 79, The Led Zeppelin 68
