I did not mean to suggest that the CHODR system is at fault here; i
understand that systems like CHODR, PHOENIX, and TCHCR only have certain
amounts of quantitative data to work with.  I just thought I'd enter a
counter-prediction:  BU by at least 2 goals.
 
BTW, so far the CHODR seems to be on the money with most of its
predictions, IMHO.  Keep it up!  And no, I don't think there are too many
computer rating systems.  Variety is the spice of life.
