A rough Week 3 of the Premier League season for the traditional big boys turned out to be rough on our prognosticators, too, though not in the same way.
Two of our writers saw fit to pick Chelsea and Liverpool dropping points but failed to get more straightforward results correctly — as straightforward as the PL has been this year, at least — while the guy who didn’t snag an upset put together the best total records.
ProSoccerTalk readers have gotten used to Joe Prince-Wright’s picks for several seasons but JPW’s asked Andy Edwards and Nick Mendola to join him on the action this season as we see which PST big mouth’s got a sixth sense.

PST’s Premier League picks standings after Week 3
Considering that winning requires getting the correct result (win, loss, or draw), getting a ‘W’ in picks isn’t all that easy.
But Nick, Joe, and Andy will all be bummed to see how poorly they performed (none landed five correct picks) in Week 3.
Andy and Joe both did peg half upsets, guessing that Leeds (Andy) and Man United (JPW) would draw against Chelsea and Liverpool. Both, of course, won outright.
Nick can smile, however, still atop the standings and above water through 30 Premier League games.
STANDINGS
Wk3
JPW 2-7 (one 1/2 upset, picked Man Utd to draw Liverpool)
Andy 4-6 (two 1/2 upsets, picked Saints to draw Leicester, Chelsea to draw Leeds)
Nick 4-6
Season
Nick Mendola, 16-14
Andy Edwards, 14-16 (four 1/2 upsets)
