Is that a collation of the ESPN writers' opinions? It's oddly Anglocentric, the bottom end is basically what you'd expect from Talksport. The only people tipping West Ham to go down were Big Sam's cronies, Leicester ended last season very strongly but sacked a British manager for a foreign one over the summer. No one in the top-four-predictions thread here even mentioned either of those teams for relegation.
What reason was there to think Watford would do worst of the promoted teams...? Did they watch any Championship games last year? Biggest spenders of the three too. Given everything else it sort of looks like they were going on the fact that it's foreign-owned, foreign-managed, and full of foreign players whose names they couldn't pronounce.
Then you have McLaren and Sherwood doing decent jobs at car-crash clubs.
