Everyone's predictions from last week have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety following the jump.
Our final prediction contest of the 2010 Saints season continued the recent theme of imperfection, as nobody got all three of their guesses correct. So once again you've got a decision to make and a vote to cast. Those who predicted Drew would end his interception streak finally got that one correct. Those of you expecting Reggie to have a big day - and there were a lot of you - were seriously let down. He screwed up a lot of 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 12pm.
And just a completely random note: Each week when I compile these I lay out the table beforehand, guessing how many rows I will need for each entrant than adjusting as I get closer to the end. Well, for the last three weeks when setting up the table, I have guessed the exact number of correct rows needed every single time. I thought that was quite a string of luck.
