Everyone's predictions from last week have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety following the jump.

1. The Saints will wear black jerseys and gold pants. (I know there’s a black jersey Fanshot already, but it doesn’t mention the pants…and besides, I predicted this earlier this week, so I own it.) 2. The Steelers will have no sacks, despite heavy pressure on Brees. 3. The Steelers will lead in the 4th quarter. And so this doesn’t become true if the Saints lose, which is not what I’m trying to predict, I’ll add that the Saints will come from behind. |
