Everyone's predictions from last week have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety following the jump.
Once again we only had one member get all three of his predictions correct and this week that person happens to be non other than our very own contributor, HansDat. Reggie Bush playing poorly really screwed up a lot of predictions.
Since we've got some time I have gone ahead and included a few other members who got two out of three correct guesses to include on a formal ballot but know that my official endorsement is for Hans. I hope you seriously consider this when voting.
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 12pm.
