SuperBru is a sport's prediction website that allows you to make picks for sporting events. Its free and its competitive.
With only 12 points separating 13 teams (out of 20) in the EPL, the unpredictability is clear to see. Having watched the EPL since it was formed back in 1992¹, I can safely say that this season has had more shock results than ever before. Predicting the weather has been easier.
With 1 week left to go, only West Ham have been confirmed as being relegated and although Man United have been crowned champions for a record 19th time, Chelsea (defending EPL Champions) did push them down to the wire.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City and Spurs were all expected to join Man Utd and Chelsea in the top 6. They did just that, not in the right order however, as Man City wedged out Liverpool and Spurs for a Champions League spot².
The rest of the clubs all experienced highs and lows, with games going either way. Any team could beat any team on the day. This happened more often than not. Only West Ham looked certain to be doomed, leaving the foot of the table only a couple of times.

So each week, teams that were not supposed to win, did. This pattern kept repeating itself but despite this, I kept on picking the logical result. My Superbru win accuracy is therefore a disgraceful 42.60%. It's a reminder of my high school maths grade.
To illustrate my point, lets have a look at my picks for this past weekend:
Blackburn 1 v Man Utd 1
My Pick: Man Utd to win 0 - 2
SuperBru Points: 0
West Brom 1 v Everton 0
My Pick: 1 -1 Draw
SuperBru Points: 0
Chelsea 2 v Newcastle 2
My Pick: Chelsea to win 3 - 0
SuperBru Points: 0
Arsenal 1 v Aston Villa 2
My Pick: Arsenal to win 2 - 0
SuperBru Points: 0
Wigan 3 v West Ham 2
My Pick: 1 -1 Draw
SuperBru Points: 0
Liverpool 0 v Spurs 2
My Pick: Liverpool to win 2 -1
SuperBru Points: 0
That's a whopping total of 0, and I considered myself an expert in football. Yeah right, what a load of bollocks. Oh well, there is always next season, right? Right. Funny, where have I heard that before?
