Super 14 round 4: predictions

The cool guys at keohane Jan Cardinelli and Ryan Vrede were in healthy 10 from 14 and 11 from 14 predicting the outcome of the Super 14 games during the first two rounds. Notable success from the opening rounds. But last week they "only" recorded 4 right guesses each, adding up to three mistakes in their predictions.

Now I have almost catched up with them and this is how the predictions' table would look:

Ryan Vrede: 15 points
Jan Cardinelli: 14 points
sesenta y cuatro: 13 points

So, encouraged by last week's predictions, here it is how I see this weekend's games:

Chiefs 33 - Reds 28: Good news for the home side is that they have the most dreadly back three in the world starting together. It is not bad news the way Graham and Retalick are performing, either.
Brumbies 34 - Lions 19: Don't be fooled. The Brumbies problem in 2010 remains the same old problem. Who's scoring? They need the best Giteau or else they will not be in the top 4.
Crusaders 23 - Blues 18: Who would have thought these two would ever become 3rth and 4th best teams in NZ? It was so last year, and neither has made us change our mind, yet.
Waratahs 32 - Sharks 24: Back at home and with the confidence of their very good effort against the Bulls, the Waratahs should win a talented but confidence-lacking Sharks side.
Stormers 22 -Highlanders 16: Jamie Mackintosh says the Highlanders have changed for good. I'm yet to see it.
Cheetahs 26 - Hurricanes 36: The Chiefs have been impressive on the road. Can the Hurricanes show at last such consistency? The Cheetahs could very well prove very hard to blow away.

  1. include me in that competition and make it more difficult by utilizing the point rules.
    A minus ten points for a correct score.
    And a differnece between the actual score and the predicted scorer. The lowest score is the winner. If you say the Chiefs are going to beat the Indians by twenty and they win by fourteen then you get a minus six.
    Otherwise it's too easy. Or too hard/
