Everyone's predictions about the Saints @ Buccaneers game from this past Friday have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety following the jump.
Like the Saints on-field performance, your predictions this week were a disappointment. Nobody got all three of their prognostications correct so we've got a packed ballot filled with CSC members who got two of their three predictions correct. I've gotta say, we still have some people making lame guesses. Let's try and step a little further out on that limb next time.
Look over the results then go ahead and cast your vote for the best predictor. The poll will be open for 48 hours, closing Friday afternoon at 11am.
