10-1 Daenerys
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: We know she is going down, but it could be episode six.
The A.V. Club says: Dany lost another dragon, but she’ll be hanging on for another episode.
20-1 Brienne
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: Rejuvenated after a tumble with Jaime, Ser Brienne is gonna hang for a while.
The A.V. Club says: We’re betting Brienne stays north at Sansa’s side, then rides south with her to pick through the rubble.
25-1 Bronn
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: One of my fav characters, so my odds might be a little off.
The A.V. Club says: He has to survive, if only to ascend to his promised role as lord of Highgarden.
25-1 Bran
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: Bran will find a weird looking tree up north, and hopefully, we never hear from him again,
The A.V. Club says: We’ll see Bran in the finale, and he’ll see us today, tomorrow, yesterday, decades from now, a few weeks ago, every year on your name day for the rest of your life…
30-1 Arya
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: So much killing yet to be done!
The A.V. Club says: If anyone’s making it to the end of this thing, it’s her.
8-1 The field: Cersei, Jon, Sansa, Jaime, Tyrion, The Hound, The Mountain, Davos, Gendry, Harry Strickland
Prophecies for profit
12-1 Cersei uses wildfire on King’s Landing
Eckstein the oddsmakr says: Why? Remember in the earlier episodes, both Bran & Danny had visions of the city, and it was decimated…
The A.V. Club says: Viewers/listeners of Winter Is Here will know whom we think is likeliest to use wildfire in this episode.
The odds reverse for CleganeBowl
1-2 The Mountain
2-1 The Hound
3-1 Both die
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: We had The Hound winning and lopping off the head of his brother, but some new information has come to light, and we are gonna reverse course, and make The Mountain a 2/1 favorite.
The A.V. Club says: But we’re leaving out the true winner: The television viewing public.
