On second thought, here is what I'm thinking:
Bernard Lagat 3:50
Nick Willis 3:51
Leo Manzano 3:52
Amine Laalou 3:53
Andy Baddeley 3:54
Alan Webb 3:55

there is an uphill and a downhill and no curves but asphalt instead, so it's quite different from racing on the track
Right because a track is oval and flat and somewhat cushioned; the road is hard and has varying terrain. I never really thought about it that way. I guess running on a track is different to running on the road.
I'm assuming you've already started a thread for this on its own. People need to know about it.

Do you really think webb is in this to run 3:55? He has had 3-4 weeks of solid training since his 3:36 where he was a little boxed in and closing with a rush. He also has not hidden the fact that this is his goal race for the year, so if anyone is coming into this fresh and fit it's webb and willis too. Webb has run and won this race in the past so that would mean he knows what he is up against regarding the course. I think webb could almost finsih in any top 5 place but it is his time that is more important here. I think he runs 3:51-3:52 or slightly better. Maybe that gets him 4th in this field, maybe it gets him the win, who knows, but either way he cracks a great time and heads into the off-season and next year ready again for sub 3:50 and sub 3:32.
Laalou
Manzano
Willis
Lagat
Webb
Baddeley
Torrence
Blincoe
Leer
Lancashire
Cragg
Huling
'Go Haron! The other Lagat.'
Haroff?
Laalou, Bernard lagat, manzano.
I think if everyone runs their perfect race, Manzano will win it. I'm picking Willis.
I think all of us are just guessing about Laalou. We have no idea what he's gonna do.
shouldnt the race be over? Why is everyone still predicting? 12:50 eastern?

The race is Sunday (Tomorrow)
Interesting....Very interesting....WEBB FTW
1) Lagat
2) Willis
3) Laalou
4) Manzano
5) Baddeley
6) Webb
as much as I'd like to see Alan Webb do well, he isn't at everyone's level yet. Willis has the most impressive race, and Lagat's kick is untouchable.
David Torrence is teh fastest downhill miler!!!1!!! evarrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!
laalo does sound pretty good but with so many big names everyone will be scared to go big so it will get tactical and Lagat is hands down the best tactical racer out there. So Im going with Lagat.
There's zero percent chance it's gonna get tactical
Bayley's my boy! Fast, fresh, fierce - he's got it on lock...!
any time predictions? 3:49?
Webb wins this one by the hair of a ghost.
LAGAT.
Manzano right in there.
Interesting predictions....nobody backed Baddeley and he won last year.
The road mile is a different event to the track...giving you surprising results...
Look to the underdog to win.....
webb is back baby.
