The results of our final prediction contest are in and it's time to pick the winner of our Super Bowl edition.
This week we have two members with perfect scores and one who is borderline. I'm including that third member and I'll just leave it up to you guys to weigh in on the situation by voting. In the end, I have a feeling this one's gonna come down to the score prediction. It was close.
Nobody correctly guessed the final score but one of our finalists was actually probably the closest.
Polls are now open!
