Having lost a bomb on Rotherham mid table bet I have been looking for a chance to recoup my money and here it is.
7/5 Watford to beat Wigan...7/5!...Well I'm in!

Having seen the dross they deliver apart from two free kicks I'm straight in on that one... Cheers Kempo
Watford are on fire at the mo... Can see a Deeney hat trick as a side bet

Hibs 11/10 to beat a rangers team they have beaten comfortably 3 times this season already..
Not until Sunday though.

I would be very cautious if I was you Kempo!
Did you know that Watford have NEVER won at Wigan, and they've only had two draws in seven attempts!
You could look at current form and say that Watford are "red hot" at the moment, but Wigan aren't doing too badly either, as was witnessed at New York Stadium recently!
I'm a great believer in "horses for courses" and I would swerve this one and look at another option!
Anyway, it's your money my friend so it's yours to lose, but I thought it was only fair to draw your attention to the stats!
Please don't blame me though if Watford DO win at Wigan cos I'm only giving you a "heads up"!
p.s. Good luck with your bet, whatever you decide mate!

You should listen to wise old Nez Kempo as he's sitting atop our Prediction League and did indeed call our loss to Wigan on Saturday. Does the fact they haven't won at home since August factor in anywhere though?

Bang it on pal they are where they are for a reason and Watford are ten fold better than them!
If the one eyed idiot dint give that dive as a foul we would at worse draw 1-1
Bang it on pal and c'mon on Watford rip um a new un!

I always take notice of what they are because they can throw a few surprise results up, and last weekend's list included ...
A.Villa @ Sunderland .. lost 1 of last 9
Bolton @ home to Millwall .. won 8 of last 9
Wigan @ Rotherham .. unbeaten in last 6
Peterborough @ Doncaster .. lost 2 of last 9
Bury @ Mansfield .. lost 3 of last 19

I think current seasons home form does matter, simply because it is current.
I am of the school that the team not winning at home is likely to continue not winning. I regard the "they're due for a home win then" school of thought as superstitious rather than logical.
I think that the fact that Watford have never won at Wigan has little bearing either.
I don't think that last year's result is any pointer, never mind the results from 1998, 2003, 2005, and 2006.

Treble at 10/1, Watford, Brighton, Charlton... lets see what happens eh!
