League Championship Easter Monday Results and Updated Projection

Unlike in the US, Easter Monday is a holiday in the UK.  One of the ways they celebrate is by playing soccer.  All 24 teams in the Championship played today.  Here is how they performed vs my predictions:

Burnley 1 Portsmouth 1 (-10 pts)
Scunthorpe United 1 Millwall 2 (+30 pts)
Preston North End 0 Cardiff City 1 (+15 pts)
Swansea City 4 Ipswich Town 1 (+10 pts)
Bristol City 2 Nottingham Forest 3 (-10 pts)
Leicester City 4 Watford 2 (-10 pts)
Queens Park Rangers 1 Hull City 1 (-10 pts)
Barnsley 2 Doncaster Rovers 2 (-10 pts)
Reading 2 Sheffield United 3 (-10 pts)
Norwich 3 Derby County 2 (+15 pts)
Middlesbrough 2 Coventry City 1 (-10 pts)
Crystal Palace 1 Leeds United 0 (-10 pts)

Overall score was -10 pts and I projected 4 of 12 outcomes correctly.

A victory by QPR would have clinched the title but Hull City held them to a draw.  Meanwhile Norwich and Cardiff's wins kept their title hopes alive.  Cardiff's victory over Preston North End clinched relegation for the Lillywhites.

After the jump, my updated projection.

19	Derby County	46	13	11	22	60	71		-11	50
20	Doncaster Rovers	46	11	15	20	58	80		-22	48
21	Crystal Palace	46	12	12	22	44	67		-23	48
22	Sheffield United	46	11	9	26	43	76		-33	42
23	Scunthorpe United	46	12	5	29	43	85		-42	41
24	Preston North End	46	9	13	24	53	80		-27	40

Nottingham's victory over Bristol City gives them 2 additional points and moves them ahead of Millwall for the final playoff spot.  I'm still projecting Reading to defeat Cardiff in the playoff final.  Leicester saw the biggest improvement (4 points and 1 spot in the table).  Reading's projection dropped by 3 points after their upset loss to Sheffield United.
