So I write these prompts all the time for PBE but normally I claim an affiliate link so I can cop out of writing them. It always feels weird to pick an overachieving team because the sim is so volatile who really knows who is doing better than we should expect. If I had to pick in a vacuum, however, I think the San Jose Sabercats are exceeding the expectations anyone had for them early on in the season. At 4-2-1 they're a smidge above where I would expect them to be. I think they might be the product of a fairly early season schedule - they lost to Orange County and Arizona on the road which are expected losses. Tying Austin is an interesting outcome and is probably beneficial to them. Austin is a team I definitely expect to bounce back as the season goes on. After reaching the Ultimus last season, Austin is a team that is built to win now but is sitting at a depressing 1-5-1 on the season. They have a roster that I think should be able to win but haven't been able to produce offensively, sitting at 3rd in the conference in points scored and right in the middle of the pack overall. They should get a bump as the season progresses.
