Rams 13 @ Saints 31: Prediction Results and Voting

by Dave Cariello on Dec 15, 2010 12:00 PM 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.

This week's predictions weren't so hot. Any Reggie Bush and Chris Ivory related entries were probably incorrect. And Drew Brees going another game with an interception messed up a few people. In fact, only one person got all three of their predictions correct, so I'm just going to forgo the vote and simply name CSC member gavin31785 our winner this week. Congratulations, Gavin.

See you Friday afternoon, when we'll do it all over again. Feel free to look over the results for gits and shiggles; they can be found after the jump.

In two seasons of visiting this site this must have been the worst collection of predictions I have seen. Great job gavin31785 it took great faith to make those predictions Jesus1000 should dedicate this weeks game to you.

Nice work gavin31785

Once again, I find myself singing Meatloaf’s “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad.” I was tempted to go with “Jackson runs all over us like he stole something” instead of Reggie, but I really want to see Reggie make a splash and want to have called it when it happens.

Great predictions

Good work. Definitely deserved it.

jeff.l.b, jon08ban, and Jabbadahut99

My mistake was predicting that your predictions would be correct. I have seen the error of my ways: this week, I will predict that your predictions will be wrong. And when they are, I shall have three correct predictions, and Dave will have no other choice than to name me, MtnExile, the greatest prognosticator of them all. Bow down now, and avoid the rush.

It was worth the wait.

That's legal

I don’t have a problem with that.

Not so

Dave has decided to rule by decree. Sorta like Hugo Chavez.

It was worth the wait.

I would have had one...

But Bradford ran it in instead. Although I thought Brees threw 2 TDs and 2 INT?

Sooner or later

I’ll get more than one correct. But I guess I should be thankful I got one at least, I’ve gotten all 3 wrong many times. Congrats Gavin.
