PrintEveryone's predictions about the Panthers @ Saints regular season finale made this past Friday have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety following the jump.
Quite a few people went a perfect three-for-three with their prognostications while many others came very close. A few predictions were worded curiously, so I had to interpret to the best of my ability and rule accordingly. Our winner will need to be selected by you guys from the six on our ballot.
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 11am CST

TOP IS GAWD!
Yep, that's what happens when you keep "shatting" in our cereal! =D
No, your predictions were great, but Mattxlegend had all his predictions right and his score was so close as well, that probably put him over the top!
Let’s just say, you are Drew Brees and Mattxlegend is Aaron Rodgers in the MVP debate!
Expect more...you'll get more...and if you don't, start over!
Deal!
I would rather be the esteemed Mr. Brees over that cheese eater any day!
I am putting my “Drew Brees equivalency” on my business card.
I like Hamburgers!
Well you got my vote Grumps.
I would have gone with Max for his score Prediction, but that third one was pretty weak. Think everybody knew Drew wasn’t gonna play the whole game, no matter what the score was.
And pleased to help you out CP.
Drew Brees....MVP Saint! Who Dat!!!

Starter lost?
What offensive/defensive starter did we lose to an injury during the game? Meachem? Wouldn’t Henderson and Colston be considered the starters?
Casillas, as jeff said.
But in terms of receivers, it’s Colston, Meachem, Moore, Henderson, Arrington

TOP IS GAWD!
I went with Grumps
His first one was a two for one that I had actually split into two for mine. If Brees hadn’t have thrown that INT, I’d probably have gotten my third one right, but would still put Grumps ahead of that.

“Define ‘gets’?”
I should have been more clear… but, I would have predicted that he own the record after the week was over. So, it was wrong.
It’s not the size of your TOP, it’s how you use it!
Want scientific proof? Read this paper by Dr. Jeremy Arkes.
I voted for coldpizza. Predicting a GB win without their starting QB playing was bold. He’s also great in bed.

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.

CP predicted "a mild debate", not "mild debate" or "some mild debate" or "more than one mild debate"
and after conceding in “a mild debate” with someone,
he then told someone that he conceded in their debate, too
that indicates to me that CP freely acknowledged of his own accord that there was more than one debate going on
therefore eliminating him from contention as he then only has two correct predictions
still messin’ with sasquatch

Mattxlegend,
was the closest on the score, within 3 points on a 60+ point game? Impressive.
"Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people. " -Carl Sagan
Looks like CP needs to be removed from the vote. He doesn’t have three correct predictions anymore, since we lost HUMBER, not Casillas, to IR.
His prediction never said we lose him for the year…only that we’d lose a starter due to injury…which we did. No mention of a prolonged injury. Nice try. That and we lost Herring..not Humber.
-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.
Like the “Real” Ivory call. Good call on the score.
You know Hartman, goodie-two-shoes is fidgeting around like a one-legged cat trying to bury s#!t on a frozen pond, until old Seth fixes him a couple of pink poontang specials. You know, that crazy drink that I fix for stewardesses? Two shots out of that and Hartman is shot to s#!t, freaked out. I mean, I never saw a guy having so much fun and crying at the same time!
Dave,
3. Brees throws no less than 225 yards and at least 2 TD’s and maintains the record for most passing yards in a season. Brady has shoulder problem. That’s a yes. If it’s about Brady, it was in the news that he injured his shoulder but would play the game Sunday. I was meaning that because of that injury, he would not pass Drew for the yardage record. My bad though, I should have left Brady out.
