Predictions 2015-2016 (Round 3)

It appears I misunderstood the BBC scoring system.  You get 30 extra points for picking the exact score, not 30 points total.  I have adjusted the running totals to reflect this.

This past week I picked five games out of ten correctly with one correct score for 80 points.  Lawrenson picked four out of ten correctly for 40 points.  His celebrity guest picked picked five correctly for 50 points.  Merson picked five out of nine correctly with three correct scores for a total of 140 points.

My current total for the season is 9 out of 20 with one correct score for 120 points.  Lawrenson has picked 6 out of 20 for 60 points.  Merson has picked 10 out of 19 with 5 correct scores for a total of 250 points.

Merson has jumped to a big early lead despite not bothering to pick the Aston Villa-Manchester United match this past week.

When Lawrenson and Merson make their new picks I will link them here and here.
