Yeah, not many upsets there. However, the ones I see going 6 or 7 could be upsets. I also say Boston and Buffalo in four because of the DNPs their opponents got, so a series forfeit is the equivalent of forfeiting the first four games and thus being swept. We'll just hav eto wait for the playoffs to start to find out what happens.
