I excluded Crystal Palace due to their remaining schedule which is somewhat favorable

I think the magic number is 36 or 37 for Southampton as they have a huge point differential over Huddersfield.

Oh absolutely. I just included from 13th down as I thought it was interesting that between 13th & 20th there is only 11 points difference and "anything can happen" in the Premier League.

I still maintain, though, the bottom 3 as you see it now will be the bottom 3 come seasons end.

Agree.

Swansea appears to be safe so I'll focus on rooting against Huddersfield and Brighton to keep Southampton alive.  In the event they do get relegated I sure hope they take the Newcastle approach and say "never again" and not be like Sunderland who is at risk of being relegated even further down --- i can't see that happening with Southampton, right?
