Everyone's predictions about the Panthers @ Saints regular season finale made this past Friday have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety following the jump.
Quite a few people went a perfect three-for-three with their prognostications while many others came very close. A few predictions were worded curiously, so I had to interpret to the best of my ability and rule accordingly. Our winner will need to be selected by you guys from the six on our ballot.
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 11am CST

Saints to host Lions in opening round of the playoffs, as Packers, 49ers and Falcons all win their season finales. |
