Everyone's predictions from last week have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety following the jump.
A lot of people predicted Roman Harper would have a sack. That didn't happen. Reggie Bush staying out of the endzone also really screwed a lot of members.
Today we've only got two members to choose from on the ballot. One has all three correct, the other might have all three correct but I can't verify one of their predictions, though I have a strong hunch it's wrong. So I will let the people (hey, that's you!) decide.
Look over the results then go ahead and cast your vote for the best predictor. The poll will be open for 48 hours, closing Friday afternoon at 12pm.
