IKTS Week 15: A visit to Old Trafford...

Week 14 had lower scores because very few realized that there was a Friday game, just after the Thursday game in the Europa League. Nevertheless, the Friday game resulted in three wrong predictions for the three contestants who tried, so that may not be a good alibi anyway.

Scores for Week 14:

Geaux_HR 9 (1)
Ray from Norfolk, Virginia, 9 (1)
hansdampf 8 (1)
ClevelandJames 8 (1)
inthekcmix 6 (0)
sammy dog 4 (0)

Stars of the week: Geaux_HR and Ray from Norfolk are tied with 9 points and one correct IKTS prediction a piece while hansdampf and ClevelandJames are tied for third with 8 points and one correct IKTS prediction each. It looks like it was a bye week for unclf14 while Captain Kirk 3 is still busy analyzing the Carlsen-Caruana chess games.

Clever pick of the week: Geaux_HR predicted a tie between Southampton and Manchester United by the correct score of 2-2, hauling 3 points. Bravo!

Crisis pick of the week: Only sammy dog did not pick The Arsenal to beat Sp*rs, costing points and 100 push-ups. Never doubt a team that has Lucas Torreira!

After week 14:

hansdampf 144 (20)
sammy dog 124 (21)
Ray from Norfolk, Virginia 121 (16)
ClevelandJames 121 (14)
Geaux_HR 113 (14)
unclf14 104 (14)
inthekcmix 74 (7)
Captain Kirk Three 26 (2)

After week 14, hansdampf continues to lead, but others continue to push on. There will be tons of action very shortly!
