Everyone's predictions about the Saints vs. Buccaneers game made this past Friday have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety below.
This week we had quite a few members get close but only one member was a perfect three-for-three so I'll just go ahead and crown him our outright winner and forego putting it to a vote. So congratulations to CSC member SaintsFanMD for being our most prognacious prognosticator this week!
Look over the entire results below and feel free to tell me all the ways in which I've screwed up the scoring.

1. Brees will pedestrian. gone are the days of 350 yds and 3 tds. i’m thinking 26 for 41ish, 250+ yds and 2 td’s or less. 2. Josh Freeman 15+ fantasy points in any format 3. Whatever the NFL record, Kickoff TD scoreless streak on the Bucs have will end on Sunday. If we could not make an adjustment against the giants a weeks worth of practice is not going to help. |
No No I'm confused. |
