EPL Round 16 Predictions

A terrible week for just about anything (it is finals week here at Cal Poly) means that our posts are slow. We haven't even managed to put up a post about the World Cup draw yet, which is incredibly disappointing. But, predicts are a weekly work, and we just can't skip them, even if it means Chamo will fail Physics.
Biggy:
Chamo seems to think his lead is untouchable, he seems to forget that games happen to be played 10 times in a week versus one, so moving up and down rapidly is quite possible. I will be demonstrating the moving up part of this sequence this week. Watchhhhh meeeeeeeeeee.
Stoke City 2:0 Wigan Wigan is uncomprehensible, Stoke is quite good at home. This makes for a Stoke victory, at least one would think.
Birmingham 1:2 West Ham Hammers get it done? We will find out. If they lose this one, they are officially just a talented bad team.
Bolton 0:3 Man City City woke up from their slumber last week, can they keep it rolling against a less then stellar opponent? Ade and company think so.
Burnley 1:2 Fulham has been good at home, but Fulham has been good everywhere. Can the Cottagers continue this dashing run toward the top? Points at a tough Burnley side would keep the fire burning.
Chelsea 2:0 Everton Landon Donovan can't get to England fast enough for Everton, as they desperately need a spark. Unfortunately, they have another twenty days before his arrival. Chelsea recovers from their stumble, but there are some chinks in the armor....
Hull City 2:1 Blackburn Hull does work at home, as they have entered desperation mode already, not completely unlike myself. At least according to Chamo anyway.
Sunderland 3:0 Portsmouth Ah, the proverbial beatdown. If only not getting paid was bad enough from Pompey, but getting thumped all the time in league as well? It hurts so good.
Tottenham 4:1 Wolves Yeah, Tottenham smashes teams like this. And will smash again.
Man United 2:3 Aston Villa Villa did it to Liverpool earlier this year, and will do it again to United, who can't find a defender. The 1-7-2 worked in the CL but not against a beastly Villa team.
Liverpool 0:2 Arsenal Arsenal snaps off the Pool, who officially goes into the running for worst week ever. Again. For the fifth time. Since the season started.
Mind you, Chamo looks at all my picks before he makes his, so he can adjust as he goes along. I just want to point this ridiculous advantage out ;)
Chamo:
"Wah Wah Wah! I'm Biggy and I think Chamo has some advantage because he sees my picks first. I won't admit that I suck at actually predicting winners and Chamo is just that much better. Wah Wah Wah!" Is it an advantage? Sure, but I hardly have to use them as one as he does all the hard work for me, taking the less likely victor in almost ANY situation. Good luck catching me Biggs.
Stoke City 0:0 Wigan Sorensen doesn't get scored on, but Stoke has a mediocre attack, especially as Pulis headbutt's one of his best strikers while naked... Nothing between these sides.
Birmingham 1:1 West Ham Zola, I need you to win more, because if you get fired I will be depressed for a prolonged period of time. Either way, Birmingham have looked impressive recently and I can't ignore that.
Bolton 1:2 Man City I hate City. Bolton sucks though.
Burnley 1:0 Fulham Fulham are renowned for being awful away, while Burnley is quite impressive at home. Despite Fulham's recent performances, I simply cannot overlook the past.
Chelsea 5:0 Everton Chelsea have been shaky these past weeks, and now the Bison is out for a month. They need a return to form, and what better opportunity than a struggling Everton side at home? Drogs and Lamps light the scoreboard as Chelsea trounce Everton to prove they deserve that top spot (see Biggs, I go out on limbs too).
Hull City 1:2 Blackburn With the potential of no Bullard again Hull will return to their atrocious performances, starting against a Blackburn side that has found, to some extent, their scoring boots. Franco di Santo scores twice in his performance of the year.
Sunderland 1:0 Portsmouth Sunderland have fallen off recently, with no real explanation. Bent returns to the score sheet to make my fantasy team happy, and the fans at the Stadium of Light as well.
Tottenham 3:0 Wolves Tottenham is a scary team and Wolves just can't find the net. Defoe and Keane tally the points for the boys from White Hart Lane.
Man United 3:2 Aston Villa United has put pressure on Chelsea at the top, and now is not the time to let off the gas (or petrol, if you will) pedal. Rooney is in form, and Obretan was ridiculous midweek against Wolfsburg. If Obretan gets the start I believe its game over Villa, even with the defensive woes.
Liverpool 1:1 Arsenal How Rafa is even still in England is beyond me, let alone still managing Liverpool. Sure the Fiorentina game didn't mean anything, but at least show up to play. Still, if he claims they are focusing on the league, they can prove it by dropping Arsenal even further off the pace. I can't see them winning, but perhaps a draw will suffice.
