BuffaloRush Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) Thank you to everyone that helped submit their entry for the Pick The 53 contest. This was a very fun way to follow the Bills preseason - which at times can be somewhat boring. If you are interested I have another prediction idea that I can share next week. I think it will be a lot of fun as well. Well the results are in. While many roster spots went the way we thought they would, there were a few surprises as well. I did decide to change the way I did the scoring. Instead of assigning 2 points per correct answer, I changed it to 1 point. This way a "46" lets you know that someone correctly predicted 46 roster spots correctly. Also please note, the Bills roster only has 52 players and not 53. As a result the highest score is a 52...not a 53 But without wasting any time, I'd like to congratulate TSW member @betop who achieved the highest score of 50/52 or a shocking accuracy of 96%. Below are the top 15. (Sorry couldn't find a way to add a table to this message) RANK NAME SCORE ACCURACY 1. @betop 50/52 96% 2. @TheStandard 49/52 94% 3. @TPS 49/52 94% 4. @Pete 48/52 92% 5. @The Bills Blog 48/52 92% 6. @billsfan2298 48/52 92% 7. @Csharp 48/52 92% 8. @BuffaloRush 47/52 90% 9. @Robert Paulson 47/52 90% 10. @Watkins101 47/52 90% 11. @loveorhatembillsfan4life 47/52 90% 12. @flipjohnson 47/52 90% 13. @Dunkirk Don 47/52 90% 14. @N.Y.

That means only 5.9% of respondents correctly predicted he was not making the team. Robert Foster had much greater odds - only 4 people picked him to make the team! That means only 2.2% percent of respondents correctly forecasted his fate!
