Everyone's predictions from last week have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety following the jump.
We've got a long ballot this week because nobody went a perfect 3/3 and a bunch of people got two correct. It will be up to you to determine who should be our winner. Colston's first touchdown of the season got a lot of people a correct prediction. So did Garrett Hartley's perfection. Chris Ivory and Drew Brees, however, were the subject of a lot of incorrect predictions.
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 2pm.
