Buccaneers @ Saints: Game Predictions

Last week we had a very special Christmas Eve version of our weekly prediction contest and today we've got an equally special New Year's Eve edition. 

By now you should all know what to do and how to do it, but just in case you don't, you can catch up on the rules of the game right here. As always all are welcome to partake, including opposing fans. This is a great opportunity for those readers who have never signed up or commented to finally dip their toe in the water.

Last weeks winner, as voted by you guys, was CSC member MtnExile. Congratulations to him. In case you missed it, here are the predictions that earned him the victory, though not all correct...

1. Michael Turner will rush for under 100 yards.

2. The Saints will win the turnover battle by at least a 2-to-1 margin.

3. Mike Smith will be caught on national TV having at least one profanity-laden tirade.

So let's close out 2010 with a bang. Make your predictions today the best of the year. 

Have a happy and, more importantly, safe New Year's Eve celebration. Don't drink and drive. See you next year!

Should old predictions be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old predictions be forgot,

1. Brees has at least 400 yards passing.
2. Saints defense and/or special teams scores at least 1 TD.
3. Saints win takeaway battle by a margin of at least +2.

Bonus: Remi Ayodele urinates on LeGarrette Blount, who then punches Remi, resulting in Blount breaking his hand. Remi laughs and says, “Is that all you got p****?” The crowd goes wild and sets a new record for decibel level in the Dome.

Lagniappe: After the game, Payton and Morris join on the field to shake hands, but Morris starts making gestures and starts yelling at Payton. This goes on for a couple of minutes, then Payton with his normal little smirk smile pats Morris on the shoulder and jogs off to the locker room. Come to find out that Morris was pissed off because all year long he’s been telling the world that 10-6 was good enough to go to the playoffs and the Bucs were going to be 10-6. What he was telling Payton was that they were supposed to win so that his team could be 10-6 but Payton ruined that for him and it was Paytons fault.

Coming off my best predicitons of the season, all 3 half right: Saints tight ends scored once (I predicted twice) Saints running back scored once (I said twice) Brees threw 2 interceptions (I said Ryan would) Hate to screw up my hot streak, but:

1) Henderson and Meacham score.

2) Hartley kicks three FG.

3) Freeman rushes for 60 yards.
