Let's hear them.
Top seed times are here for men:
and here for women
12 men have run under 2:10 and 18 under 2:11. Considering a woman has run 2:11:54 anyone over 2:10 qualifies.
For the women 7 have run under 2:24 and 13 under 2:25.
For men, I'm going with Andrew Colley. After making world cross last time I like him as someone who comes through.
For women, not really a long shot but no one expects Molly Seidel. I just respect her because she takes a lot of crap from letsrun losers and her last marathon was excellent.

I don't see Jared Ward on the list of those declared, does anyone know if he is running the trials??

As we saw in Tokyo, the heat can make it pretty wide open. Somebody capable of running a 2:30 in perfect weather may well finish third in this race in 2:31 if temps are in the 80s. And on the women's side, they'll make the team. So on the women's side, I'll predict one of the following will make the team: Sarah Sellers, Steph Bruce, or Katja Goldring.
On the men's side, Sergio Reyes, Fernando Canada, or Abdi Abdirahman. All have run around 2:16 and are over 40.

She's baaaaack!
New info in on her training, apparently put in a lot of work and is fit. Has an outside shot of making a miracle happen but this would be a huge longshot and a huge comeback.
Where can I put a $100 bet on her making the team, it's gotta be worth a fortune if it pays off.

Hard to call the 11th fastest qualifier a longshot, but Dakotah Lindwurm's training as gone extremely well. As an upper midwesterner she was smart to do most of her training in FL this winter. This is of course to make the team, not to win.

One runner who hasn’t been mentioned once in this thread: Emily Durgin. She has a bunch of top-3 finishes in road and XC US Championships over the last 3 years (seriously, 8 of them), has a 67:54 half PB, and ran 2:26:46 in Toronto in October—her first marathon finish. I’m not picking her to qualify, but relative to expectations she’s a really smart bet.

I've got her in my top 5

And the reason why I made this call was indeed purely based on her training which I've been watching for some time now. And there's no secret to it, she put in a ton miles and strong but not over the line workouts. Congrats to her.

Seems like the biggest longshots are Tammy Hsieh on the women's side and Adam Wollant, Joshua Kalapos and Erik Linden on the men's.
Guessing you meant to ask who is a dark horse to make the team. I bet we'll see at least one debutante on the team. O'Keeffe or Rogers for the women, Estrada or Isai Rodriguez for the men.
Josh Kalapos: ranked 227 of 227 going in, finishes 17th. Most improved award?
