by Saintsational on Dec 8, 2008 2:00 PM CST Comment 14 comments

Member Name	Prediction	Analysis
pukenbowl	1) Drew throws NO picks 2) Matt Ryan has a passer rating under 80 3) Shockey finally has his first TD as a saint (sooner or later this prediction will come true)	Yes No No
stujo4	1) Lance extends his streak of games with at least one touchdown to 7. 2) Saints have 100+ yds rushing as a team. 3) Roddy White has some catches and yards but does not score on the Saints D.	No Yes Yes
Dave the Falconer	1) Matt Ryan throws for at least 250 yards 2) Pierre Thomas puts up more yardage than Reggie Bush and has a TD 3) Roddy White puts up 80+ yards and a TD on the Saints D	Yes Yes Half
TAYDIGGA	1)Drew Brees throws for at least 250 yards 2)Reggie Bush puts up more yardage that Pierre Thomas and has a at least 1 TD 3)Marques Colston puts up 80+ yards and a TD on the Falcons D	No Half No
Hollywoo!	1) Suspensions are put on hold till legal issues are resolved…Smith and Deuce play!! 2) Saints get revenge, win the game by more than the spread. (which is 3.5. I think.) 3) I’m with Puke…Shockey gets into the endzone…	Yes Yes No
MtnExile	1. I think the Saints’ defensive strategy will be based on stopping Michael Turner. That can be done, and I think it will be. But whether or not that leaves Matt Ryan a free hand is no better than a coin flip, seeing as how our secondary is different every week. Who’s playing now? 2. Drew doesn’t often have bad games twice in a row, and he plays better at home. My guess is a completion percentage better than 60%, over 300 yards and 3 TDs. 3. That should be enough to win. 31-24. But I’m not going to rag on Dave the Falconer anymore. Dude has me spooked.	Yes? No No
Steve the fan	1. Jamaal Brown will have three holding penalties, 1 in the first, 2 in the fourth during the furious Saints rally from 2 scores down only to come up short on a Brees INT (that’s right the Saints lose, but it means better draft position for the WR we will take in the first round; And no, I am not bitter at all). 2. Brees will be 32 of 47 for 328 yds, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 2 sacks (even with the holds), and 3 rushes for 12 yds with one of the rushes being for a first down during the fourth quarter rally. 3. Payton will call a sweep toss or wide receiver end reverse on third and 1 for reasons only he knows.	No No No
SSreporters	1. Reggie Bush gets at least 2 punt returns of 20 yards or more. 2. Drew Brees throws for over 350 yards and successfully completes passes to 6+ different receivers. 3. The Saints win 34-27.	No No No
NYSaint	1) deuce can play but payton wont give him more than 5 carries…bastard! 2) colston and meachem play but dont catch more than 5 balls 3) i will be at the giants eagles game…big who??!?!? BIG BLUE BIG BLUE BIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGG AH! I just shot myself im so excited.	Yes Yes No
Ron the fan	1) Duece has a td this week. 2)SAINT’s win by 4. 3)Pierre lites em up for our first 100 yd. rusher of the season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	No Yes Yes
SaintsDynasty	1. Turner breaks off at least one run of 20+ 2. Meachem makes a catch 3. Bush totals 100+ all purpose yardage	Yes No Yes
DeuceisLoose926	1) Turner rushes for 100 plus and 2 tds 2) Brees throws 3tds and 3 ints 3) Meachem has no receptions	No No Yes
hakimdropstheball	1. The Saints get at least 120 rushing yards. 2. Drew Brees finishes with a higher QB rating than Matt Ryan. 3. Lance Moore catches a TD pass.	Yes No. But very close. No
RogerMilla	1 meachem OR shockey TD 2 brees over 360 yards 3 saints 4 tds or more	No No No
HansDat	1) Falcons score on 3 Elam FGs and 1 Turner TD run 2) Secondary has awesome 2nd game vs. IceIceBabyRyan and holds him to under 200 yards and just over 50% completion rate 3) Bush fumble with 2:15 to go in the fourth Q causes Jason David to have to save the day by breaking up a “Big Ben” hail mary pass on the Falcons final play (finally reversing some of those bad Steve Bartkowski hail mary losses to the Falcons in the late 70’s early 80’s when we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory).	No No No
CajunCavern	1) Drew gets 280+ yds. 2) Michael Turner scores at least one TD. 3) Will Smith gets a sack.	No Yes No
#23fan	1. Decue and PT find the endzone 2. Bush returns a punt for more than 25 yrds 3. Robi has a big return for a TD	No No No
Ditka'sGhost	1. Pierre gets most carries, 14+ for around 65 yards 2. Bush another ineffective day, low rushing avg, a couple of dropped passes, loses ground in punt returns 3. Deuce, if you blink you won’t even spot him on maybe two carries during the game. Both Pierre and Bush will be stopped in short yardage situations, prompting the normal Monday question and answer sessions with Payton about Deuce’s status.	Half No Half
satchmo26	1. The Saints D contains Turner “the Burner” by holding him to under 60 rush yards, but Matt Ryan will light up the secondary with 250+ passing yards and 3 TDs. 2. Pierre Thomas rushes for close to 100 yards and scores 2 TDs; Once again and much to the dismay of the fans in attendance, Payton barely uses Deuce. 3. Shockey finally scores a Saints TD and puts up close to 80 yards.	No Yes No

I know I won’t win this week because many others guessed better than I did. But, I must object to your ruling Saintsational that I missed my second prediction. Pierre did score 2 TDs (one rushing, one receiving). I didn’t say he’d rush for 2 TDs, only that he would score 2 TDs.

Go Saints!!!!

Satch very interested in fairness

His bonus comment on #2 puts him over. Good job, Satch!

?????

Is something wrong with the voter pole? It’s not letting me vote and I see Ron (who I would vote for) currently only has two votes and Hakim has 26. No offense to Hakim, but Ron’s predictions are way closer. Did 26 people really just vote for Hakim?

Go Saints!!!!

28 votes for Hakim in 30 minutes and I didn't even get to vote

Hakim Machine Politics

CSC got hacked faster than a Diebold voting machine.

Ha ha, love the Diebold reference!

It might be time for a recount.

Go Saints!!!!

I'll make another guess at Shockey's first TD next week

he can’t go all season without one, can he?

A note from Hakim Drops the Ball...

Uh, yeah, after going over the predictions, even I’m stunned to be winning, let alone by such a wide margin. I honestly thought Ron or Dave the Falconer had a better go of it.

Get in line buddy!

I’m so bad at this I didn’t even made predictions this week.

Some would say I’m a god on Fun-O-Pool but that’s their opinion and I have respect for that….

Sweet taste of a 4th quarter win still twirls of my tongue like a ’94 Grand Bordeaux .

Just want the Saints to take Soldier’s field by storm!

Let’s go les gars!!!!!!!

NYSaint

i should get at least half for my 3rd prediction. i went to the giants game…i didn’t shoot myself, but i did save a guys life (he tripped down the stairs and landing on my back while i was leaning over in my seat to tie my shoe. he would have cracked his face open.)

PS i have been too busy to read up, but who do i want to win tonight? can they both lose?
