Everyone's predictions about the Saints vs. Cowboys game made this past Friday have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety below.
For the second week in a row we had 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 forrestgump52 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. Payton’s contract and his potential to be coaching either of these teams next year gets brought up at least twice during the telecast with the first mention occurring before the end of the first quarter. 2. The fact that Payton tried to get Tony Romo as the QB for the Saints before Drew Brees was brought in and signed will be brought up by those calling the game. 3. A comparison will be done of Brees and Romo in regard to their propensity to throw INTs earlier this year. Announcers will also compare Graham to Witten in a "turning of the guard" mode for TE’s. Additionally….no comparison what so ever will be made of Dez Bryant and Marques Colston. |

1. Saints rush the ball better than they have all year. 2. Defensive line pin their ears back and force Romo to throw at least 3 interceptions. Saints kick Romo’s ass for FREE. No bonus pay necessary! 3. Announcers talk the entire game about the bounty program and they show clips from 2009 games with Saints players making perfectly legal hits on quarterbacks. |
