For those who don’t know this, you can change your pick any time before the game begins. So I’ve just changed my Leaguist pick in the upcoming Super 14 game between The Crusaders and Chiefs. I was originally picking The Crusaders to win by between 7 and 11 points. It was a safe pick, I thought. The Crusaders are currently undefeated; they’re running 8-0, so why not pick them? But then I suddenly had a change of heart. I remember watching a few Chiefs games and recalled the level to which the Chiefs rose in their 5 wins and only 3 losses. And then there are the Chiefs’ supporters, who are every bit as fanatical as those down in Canterbury (some might say more so). These things gave me pause, so I logged back into Leaguist and made a change.

Picking Crusaders to win by more than 12.
