I can't believe this is my 200th post!! Last week's predictions were fairly average as I correctly forecast five from ten correct results leading to a 50p profit for the week and taking total profits to £28.
This week is a similar range of sports being covered but with the football reverting back to the Barclays Premier League and the rugby being the fifth round of Heineken Cup games.
In the premier league there are a host of local derbies this weekend as well as the opportunity for Manchester City to go top of the table. My first prediction is for Manchester City to do just that by beating Wolves today. In the derbies tomorrow I'm predicting a draw in the second city between Birmingham and Aston Villa, a win for Wearside over Tyneside with Sunderland to defeat Newcastle and Kenny Dalglish to get his first win since his return as Liverpool Manager by beating Everton. Potentially the best match of the weekend should be in North London where Spurs host currently unbeaten and table toppers Manchester United and in this game I'm hedging my bets and going for a draw.
This weekend will go a long way towards deciding the quarter finalists in the Heineken Cup and my three predictions are for Leicester to win at Llannelli, the Ospreys to defeat London Irish who have been on a very poor run of form lately and finally in what should be a super match Toulon to beat Munster.
The playoffs in the NFL are well underway and there was a cracking match last week as the Jets narrowly defeated the Colts in the last couple of seconds of the game and I think all the matches will be close again this weekend. My two predictions are for the Steelers to see off the challenge from the Ravens and the Packers to triumph in Atlanta at the Falcons.
In summary the predictions are as follows:
Premier League Football
Manchester City to beat Wolves at 7/19
Birmingham to draw with Aston Villa at 12/5
Sunderland to defeat Newcastle at 11/10
Liverpool to beat Everton at 13/10
Spurs to draw with Manchester United at 12/5
Heineken Cup Rugby
Leicester to win at the Scarlets at 1/2
Ospreys to win at London Irish at 7/11
Toulon to defeat Munster at 3/5
NFL Playoffs
Steelers to beat the Ravens at 10/17
Packers to win at the Falcons at 11/10
