I hate to piss on anyone's chips but the 76 point target for the play-offs is not looking relevant for this year.
Last year it would have been enough but that's because the points were spread more evenly throughout the division and the teams at the bottom took relatively more points per game out of their 46 matches each than this years bottom 4 have managed so far from their 38 matches each.
That means more of the points available throughout the season have been won further up the table and that will push the play-offs point target up. I'd guess that 6 or 7 teams will get to 80 points this time.
