PrintFull credit for this idea goes to this guy. But here are my predictions for this season's Premier League. I also included what American sports team they are for no real reason.
20. Blackpool
Seriously, what are earth are they doing here?
Winthrop Basketball
Because of relegation in football, there's no real American comparison for a yo-yo team. The closest team I could come up was a team that has some history, will occasionally jump up and have a good year, but in the end will probably end up crappy again.
Cleveland Browns
18. Wigan Athletic
Not really the first choice team in there city, but have done a good job of sort of sticking around.
Memphis Grizzlies
17. Newcastle United
Fan's have overinflated sense of team's importance(Sorry Newcastle fans). They been pretty poor the last couple years, but are alyways trying to improve their team. Were decent in the early-to-mid 2000s.
Toronto Maple Leafs
16. Bolton Wanderers
They're just always sorta....there. Not that good, but then again not bad. They did jump up recently and have a period of decent success.
Houston Astros
15. Fulham
They're coming off of a great season, with a run no one expected, but they've lost some key pieces.
Butler Basketball
14. Birmingham City
The rest, I think, are a little iffy, but I NAILED this one. If you root for them you suck.
13. Sunderland
Famously had a horrible team, that was a laughing stock, until another team came along soon after. They're starting to get better, piece by piece, with a more than capable manager.
Miami Dolphins
12. Blackburn Rovers
Had success in the mid 90s. Since then its been up and down.
Florida Marlins*
*Apparently the Marlins won the '03 World Series. I can't say I remember that though. -Signed Pinstripe Alley Member
11. West Ham United
I have legitimately no idea who to pick for West Ham. Ideas?
And yes, this whole idea was to set up Scum-Nazi joke. I will do the top 10.

West Ham = Detroit Lions.
Both teams get outperformed by other franchises in their respective cities.
Doesn’t work so well unless they’ve been utterly incompetent for the last two decades, only buoyed by one of the dominant players in history (Barry Sanders).
Only YOU can prevent idiots from commenting!

1. Chelsea = Yankees, 2. Man United = Red Sox
3. Arsenal = Indianapolis Colts (this still sounds weird to me as I still think of them as the Baltimore Colts), 4. Liverpool = Montreal Canadiens
You're right. BTW, Aaron and Kirstern, keep up the great work, it is much appreciated!

West Ham could be
Kansas City Chiefs, living off long ago glories and stuck in a nearly permanent state of mediocrity and crappiness.
