Barclays Premier League Week 7 Predictions
After changing the format at which I grade my predictions, I'm now coming off a pretty good record from Week 6. I even had 2 exact score predictions! But this week I'm looking to do even better than 5-3-2. My goal is at least 6-2-2. Hopefully my bet of the week will be a win this week as well, since Chelsea ended up winning only 3-0 and my pick of over 3 was only a push. As usual, the bet of the week will be in bold, red font.
UPDATE: SUNDAY 8:40 PM EST
UPDATE: SUNDAY 8:40 PM EST
Week 7 Record: 4-6-0
Bet of the Week Record: 0-1-0
Season Record: 9-9-2
Season Bet of the Week Record: 0-1-1
Sunderland vs. Stoke City
Prediction: 1-1
Analysis: Sunderland ended up playing in the boring game of the week last week, ending with a 0-0 draw against Swansea City. It's a little hard to tell if Sunderland played better than they have been or Swansea is still falling apart after being the early surprise of the season. On the other hand, Stoke did exactly what I was expecting (literally) and came away with a 1-0 win against Newcastle last week. You won't see Stoke involved in too many high scoring match-ups this season so I'm going to go with a 1-1, having Sunderland squeak away with another much needed point.
Pick: Stoke pk, +1/2; -132
Final Outcome: 3-1. LOSS.
