Everyone's predictions about the Saints @ Rams game from this past Friday have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety following the jump.
As you can imagine following a Saints loss to a team they should have beaten handily, there were a lot of incorrect guesses. Only one CSC member was a perfect three for three with his/her predictions but because I think they were a little weak, I've lumped him/her on the ballot with those members who had two correct predictions. It's up to all of you guys to decided who should be the winner.
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.
