Hedging my bets??? ......... Its not an exact science.........

Its a rough prediction..........based on curent seasonal form....... totally free of bias, it is what it is.........

I could give you an exact number.....as in.......

(a) Playoffs 83 points (+/- 2 points)

But its the same thing..........

FWIW this is much lower than normal, which is why its relevent this year.

here are previous 2nd places

2001 89
2002 92
2003 86
2004 87
2005 90
2006 86
2007 79
2008 83
2009 91
2010 ??

average is around 87 points

Only 83 or less twice in 9 seasons.

Having looked at all the factors I actually think it will take just 82 points (my biased opinion)........ but 85 points will almost certainly be enough.
