Member Name	Prediction	Analysis
stujo4	1) Jeff Garcia fails again to defeat the Saints. Will he rejoin the Eagles next year and try again? What would it be then, 0-6? 2) Warrick Dunn is injured during the game and his replacements, Carnell Williams and Clifton Smith, turn in less than stellar performances. 3) Bucs have to pass to keep up, paving the way for 2+ sacks by the Saints. Saints 27, Bucs 13	No No Half. The sacks part was right.
Ron the fan	1) Saints win again by 2 or more scores. 2)No score for Duece this game. 3Reggie’s back and in form; he and Pierre hit em for 150 plus total yd.s	No Yes No
MtnExile	1. Jason David allows at least one long completion, but also gets a pick. 2. Saints rush for 100+ yards. 3. The difference maker is a score made or set up by a Courtney Roby return.	No No No
pukenbowl	1) Shockey with a huge game (1 or more TD’s, >75 yards) 2) Jason David reminds us of who he really is 3) Hartley with a game winner	No I don't think so. No
TAYDIGGA	Shockey gets first TD Garcia gets sacked 3 times Running game is better than last time—since we’re using a better scheme.	No Half. He got sacked 4 times. No
Steve the fan	1. Lance Moore will 7 catches for 79 yds (I think my pointing out of his lack of YAC has made him improve, give me my props) 2. Defense has a sack and an INT and a FF. (Gibbs firing still needs to happen) 3. Roby returns a KO for a TD at the start of the second half.	No So close No

Hollywoo!	1. Game will be decided by 7 or less 2. Shockey does not get off the shneid, failing to get in the endzone (This is a little reverse psychology…I said the same thing last week about Colston, and look what happened.) 3.

HansDat	1) Hard rain starts falling in the 2nd quarter after teams battle to a 10-10 1st Q tie 2) Both teams go scoreless in 2nd and 3rd quarter 3) Reggie’s long punt return in the 4th sets up another Deuce “TD plunge” for short yardage game-winning score (17-10) as defense holds off TB rally	Right about the rain. No No
kssaints	1. there will be a thunderstorm with heavy rain during the game, lightning will temporarily stop play 2. Brees will have his lowest pass yardage of the year 3. each team will commit at least 3 turnovers…one of them will decide the game in the final minute	No No No
satchmo26	1. Despite their recent history, the Saints prove they can indeed go on the road and win the week after a huge, emotional victory. The Saints win a close one 27 to 24. 2. Shockey finally scores a TD with the Saints. 3. Roby returns a kickoff for a TD.	No No No

dell00	1. despite seeing his 1st action of the second half ot the season, Reggie doesn’t lead the team with ball carries, PT is tops in that category. 2. Tampa sinks our playoff hopes alive today. 3. Tampa forces multiple Saints turnovers today	Yes Yes Yes
