Saints 30 @ Cowboys 27: Predictions Results and Voting

by Dave Cariello on Nov 30, 2010 9:16 AM CST

Everyone's predictions from last week have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety following the jump.

Once again we only had one member get all three of his predictions correct and this week that person happens to be non other than our very own contributor, HansDat. Reggie Bush playing poorly really screwed up a lot of predictions.

Since we've got some time I have gone ahead and included a few other members who got two out of three correct guesses to include on a formal ballot but know that my official endorsement is for Hans. I hope you seriously consider this when voting.

Look over the results then go ahead and cast your vote for the best predictor. The poll will be open for 48 hours, closing Thursday afternoon at 12pm.

Ah, Reggie, if you had just held onto that pass.

As much as I want to collect the fabulous cash prize and all the notoriety that goes with being the prediction winner, even I have to go with the man that got them all right (damned if I couldn’t have been there if I had said 3 scores ahead after the FIRST quarter)

Hans down, it's Hans Dat.. but, Dave

what would it have been, yes or no on Jesus 1000’s 3rd prediction if Hartley didn’t attempt a fg or xp? I would say NO, right?

Agreed. Otherwise, one could predict “Roman Harper scores a TD [if he intercepts the ball or recovers a fumble]” and get credit for it, if neither happens. I personally would have given him a NO, just for using brackets instead of parentheses. Thank goodness Dave isn’t as big a d*** as I am.
