"I think the U.S. team has a lot of motivation because they got killed last time and they'd like to rectify that. They won't take it lightly because the don't want to be embarrassed again." |

"The U.S. will win because, even as apathetic as this crew is, the butt-kicking in Australia two years ago still lingers." |
Gary Van Sickle

"The U.S. by two points. Putting is the difference in match play and the Americans have a big edge there with Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Paul Azinger, David Duval and the Boss of the Moss, Loren Roberts. The Internationals are strong in ballstriking but not as swift on the greens." |

"Tiger, or no Tiger, the International team simply wants it more than the Americans do. Plus, the U.S. team has three relatively unproven match-play players -- Kirk Triplett, Notah Begay and Stewart Cink -- who could prove to be liabilities." |

"I think the U.S. will bounce back strong and run away with it." |

"I go with the Americans because they're stronger from top to bottom, plus no team has ever lost the Cup on home soil." |
