Everyone's predictions about the Saints vs. Falcons game made this past Friday have finally been tallied, analyzed and formatted accordingly. They can be found in their entirety below.
And even though this was the first prediction contest of the 2013 NFL season, at least one of our members was already in mid-season form. Congrats to kazmiboy for getting all three of his predictions correct and being our outright winner this week. So big congrats to him.
Look over the entire results below and feel free to tell me all the ways in which I've screwed up the scoring. We'll see you all back here Friday afternoon for a new round of predictions for the Saints vs. Buccaneers.
