Everyone's predictions made this past Friday about the Saints vs. Vikings game have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety below.
Once again, we didn't have anyone get all three of their predictions correct. So our winner will need to be determined by popular vote because this week we've got a crowded race between five members with two correct predictions each. You, the community, will need to decide whose two predictions were best. Only one can win.
Look over the entire results below and feel free to tell me all the ways in which I've screwed up the scoring. Then vote in the poll below. Voting will be open for 48 hours.
We'll see you on Friday to announce the winner and another chance to play!

1. The Saints will once again lose the turnover battle because their defenders are a bunch of no-catching motherf***ers. 2. Vikings RB Matt Asiata will have a career day by gaining 200+ yards and scoring 3 TDs 3. Payton will get so angry with Rob Ryan that he punches him in his giant belly and this causes his fist to abruptly bounce back and punch himself in the scrotum. This will require surgery to repair a gash in his man-sack and thus cause him to miss 2-4 weeks. Joe Vitt will then become the interim head coach and team belly-puncher. |
