You can understand why. After @redlanered's haul of 14 points last week, a respectable score of 5 this week, @redlanered has opened up a 9-point gap at the top of the League. However, my advice to @redlanered is to deliberately score no points for the next six weeks to take the heat off; everything should then be OK.
Other than that, this week's stars in a higher than average scoring week were @Seabros, @Killarahales and @Chef_Addick who all scored 6 points while @ Lewis Coaches jumped to second place having scored 4 points. Predicting a Charlton game proved to be a bad decision this week whereas expecting Arsenal to lose was a sensible choice.
A couple of reminders – there are just two more weekends to
score enough points to qualify for the Prediction Cup – the top 128 on
Christmas Day in the Prediction League will be eligible for that competition.
Secondly, predicting games after they have kicked off or, even, after they have
finished scores nil points.
