The only reason Rachel is going to win is because she's more popular :(

Common sense dictates that Octavian's got this in the bag. He's used to manipulating people, cunning as a snake, and despite the fact that he's a scrawny a-hole,  he's been trained and has fought, probably dozens of times.

Sure, he may not be the most powerful demigod, but he's a lot stronger than Rachel. Remember, he's been in Camp Jupiter ''all his life. ''Though we haven't seen him fight much, this is still enough to guarantee a win against Rachel Dare.

Next, on the topic of prophecies. All their prophecies come from Apollo, or in Octavian's case, possibly Zeus. Disregarding favoritism from the gods (because Apollo would definitely help Rachel, no question) in truth, the way Octavian utilizes his prophecies and the way he tells them is more effective on a day-to-day basis.

No, whatever you guys say, Octavians predictions ''are accurate. ''He has so-far interpreted the correct series of events from his augur predictions. The only time he was ever wrong with his predictions was ''when he wants to be. ''He purposely hides or edits the results of his predictions from people that would put him at a disadvantage should they know the truth.

All in all? Rachel wins because she's cute :D
