1) Brees has 3+ TDs, over 400 yards, but more combined Sacks+INTs than TDs. 2) We give up a special teams or defensive TD (not FG) and lose the turnover battle, but win the TOP game thanks to having the better running game in at least two of #carries, YPC, and total yards. (CP is happy that at least we won the TOP game, the rest of us are not.) 3) We manage to mostly shut down Calvin again with <= 2 TDs, <= 2 "explosive" (i.e. 40+ yards) plays, and at least two Saints have as many run+catch TDs as he does, but other Kitties step up and make us pay for over-covering him. |

1st let me say I blanked again
Voted Miss Butterfly…for the over 500 yds offense & holding the Lions to under 50 yds rushing as boldest picks IIMHO. Thought the would use Joique Bell to get more than that by himself.
Drew Brees....MVS Most Valuable Saint! Who Dat!!!
by cajuncommando58 on Jan 10, 2012 11:08 AM CST reply actions
Went with Nabb1 for the 5 different Saints scoring TDs and the 2 turnovers. We don’t turn the ball over….and as much as Brees moves the ball around, 5 different players scoring is incredibly impressive.
That and Nabb1’s prediction…wasn’t ridiculous and very close to the final scores.
-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.
Yeah could have went with several here...
But I really thought we would see something out of Bell. Guess he didn’t have enough time to get worked in.
And the only thing I had going for me was a close prediction on the score. In fact if they would have run up the score and kicked that last FG instead of kneeling, I’d had it exactly right.
Drew Brees....MVS Most Valuable Saint! Who Dat!!!

If I had said 800 yards passing...
instead of OFFENSE, I’d be winning this thing for sure.

voted hakim
Would have voted Nabb1- but his third prediction was so incredibly off I counted it against him.
I didn't voter for myself I was so far off on Calvin Johnson.
But, had you told me before the game he was going to have those numbers, I also would have assumed a Saints loss. I should have made Graham’s sick dunk my #3 instead of that one.
I didn't vote
I think they are all losers….lol

Yes sir we want the ball...

Went with missb. first 2 right and
Boynamedsuh looked so out of it.
Jason Cole is a A-HOLE : KilnBill
Voted for Cajun in CA
Most people were expecting a 2 score victory, which would lend to Ivory racking up yards to run out the clock, though he was stuffed more than usual against a mediocre run D.
What sealed it is the specific prediction for a late game-sealing turnover by the D, something we haven’t seen much since ’09.
Thanx.
PT was so close to making my third one correct as well. I was expecting a big game from him, just missed it by a few yds on both rushing and receiving.
Hmmm...
I probably shouldn’t come on this. ;-)

I Didn't Vote For Myself....
but voted for Nabb1.
I watched the Lions closely at the end of the game, and, yep, they had that deer in the headlights look. ’Kinda felt sorry for them, but better them than the Saints!
Dave?
Asking the dumb question here, why are some of the predictions highlighted? Enquiring minds want to know…

I voted for myself...
because that is how I roll… I am glad I was wrong about Harper – I hope he can keep it that way for rest of the playoffs.
Voted for Mrs.(Madam) Butterfly
no PF’s, thought Lions would lose their cool @ least once. Everybody was close. Plus I like butterflies.

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."-Mahatma Gandhi
Voted for the Butterfly as well.
Deer in the headlights? That’s about the way it happened, as PT drove the truck over them.
This isn't about rules, it's about manners. Now there's no rule that says that I cant come over here and fart on your entree. But I don't do it. Why? Because it's not good manners.
If you read that list upside down...
…I win.
Besides, who else made three predictions, got only one right and still is a 100% correct? Boy it’s lonely at the top…
Repeat? Run it!
Sproles Train
Thats the little dance he does ehen he scores. He calls it the Sproles Train. Yes he did it after he scored. SMH

hakimdropstheball (shoulda gone for 900 yards :))
Well...
… if you cared to read through the various posts you would have seen that i pointed out that that Special Team forecast is pretty lame if I dont add “a TD” at the end….
Feel good now smart guy?
Yes sir we want the ball...
Whoa
I was listing the predictions that I thought were the best. Sorry if I didn’t clarify that.
