As it was i had to settle for a return of 15pts, which was still nice though i should have probably put some money on derby just in case but i fancied west brom to hammer them. Judging by the 2 teams contrasting fortures this season it would have been better for football in general if they did, not just for my bank balance! Anyway my playoff predictions.......

CCC - Hull... It was either between hull and palace here, and i think both teams should get comfortably through, and think this will be a great final. If it gets to this stage and am relying on this game however, i will just put some of my potential winnings on palace so i cant lose either way.

League 1 - Leeds.... Leeds are playing my team carlisle and this is the reason i have picked them. I have been saying for weeks that carlisle are playing awful at the minute, and to be honest bournemouth deserved to win last saturday. Just feel leeds will have too much for carlisle, and if then the massive leeds support will roar them to victory in the final.

League 2 - Rochdale... Again a tough one to pick, however i feel tha darlo are currently the worst team left in the playoffs so rochdale especially with their recent form 7-3-0 in their last 10 will get through. I know history is against rochdale, but theyve never been better equipped than this season to get that illusive promotion, so i will stick with my instincts here.
Do this every year myself aswell, but usually just stick a couple of quid on the treble.

Your 3 are the 3 I'll be going with, pretty much for the same reasons.

Hull because I think they should atleast make the final with Watford's terrible form and I don't see much to chose between them and palace.

Leeds because their the form side in the play-offs and they play a Carlisle side struggling for form.

Finally Rochdale, because again they look to have the easiest passage to the final.

Think the treble pays around 30/1.
