League Championship Weekend Results

I'm a little bit behind on my postings.  Life got busy for me but the soccer world moved on.  The Championship played another round of matches yesterday which I did not get a chance to predict.  I will include these matches in my next projection for this league.  Here is my belated analysis of the weekend results:

Portsmouth 1 Preston 1
Prediction:  Portsmouth 2 Preston 1
Score:  -10 pts

Swansea 3 Norwich 0
Predicition:  Swansea 1 Norwich 1
Score:  -10 pts

Watford 1 Hull City 2
Prediction:  Watford 2 Hull 2
Score:  -10 pts

Ipswich 2 Crystal Palace 1
Prediction:  Ipswich 2 Crystal Palace 1
Score: +30 pts

Doncaster 1 Cardiff City 3
Prediction:  Doncaster 1 Cardiff 2
Score:  +10 pts

Leicester 4 Burnley 0
Prediction:  Leicester 1 Burnley 1
Score:  -10 pts

Barnsley 4 Bristol City 2
Prediction:  Barnsley 1 Bristol 1
Score:  -10 pts

Scunthorpe 4 QPR 1 (WTF?)
Prediction:  Scunthorpe 0 QPR 2
Score:  -10 pts.  The worst team in the league by far beats the best team in the league by far.  I know Scunthorpe was the home team, but they were coming off a 6-0 defeat.  So WTF QPR?

Millwall 3 Leeds United 2
Prediction:  Millwall 2 Leeds 2
Score:  -10 pts

Derby 2 Coventry City 2
Prediction:  Derby 1 Coventry 1
Score:  +20 pts

Nottingham Forest 3 Reading 4
Prediction:  Forest 1 Reading 1
Score:  -10 pts

Sheffield United 1 Middlesbrough 2
Prediction:  Sheffield 1 Middlesbrough 1
Score:  -10 pts.

For those of you keeping score I ended up with -30 points for these matches.  My previous scores were +15 and zero.  Will update my projections for the table later this week.
