Mark Lawrenson's predictions, along with Garth Crooks' infamous team of the week selections, are the brunt of many a joke on social media.
Usually it's because he made an alarming statement or a wild prediction, so the BBC decided to turn his predictions into a season-long battle week by week, and this week the guest is former WWE superstar Bautista.
Because why not?
Dave Bautista, as we are now meant to call him because he's an actor, is promoting his new film 'Final Score' in the UK and he has had a go at this week's Premier League predictions, and some of his reasons are hilarious.
Man United vs Man City
Lawro's prediction: 1-0
Bautista's prediction: I have personal reasons for going with United here - I have a lot of friends who support them, and also because Noel Gallagher gave me major harassment when I did Soccer AM with him - and he is a huge City fan. So I am picking against his team, and I think they are going to get crushed. 5-0
Bournemouth vs West Brom
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Bautista's prediction: This is a hard one for me because I am not familiar with either of these teams. I have actually never heard of them. 1-1
Stoke vs Tottenham
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Bautista's prediction: That's a Spurs win for sure. Go Spurs! 1-3
West Ham vs Watford
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Bautista's prediction: I am going to this one - it is my first football game and I can't wait. Watford, you are getting spanked. 4-1
Liverpool vs Leicester
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Bautista's prediction: I've been to Liverpool and they are a bunch of tough blokes from that city. I'm going with them to win this one. 2-1
We only included the predictions where Bautista gave reasons for his guesswork, so to read the predictions in full head over to BBC.co.uk
Now, since the former WWE man was out of his element, is there any chance we can get an actual wrestling match between these two to even up the playing field? Please?
