NN Prediction Contest Archives

I collect and update the year-by-year results of each of the past Niners Nation Prediction contests. As best as I can tell, Fooch started the concept and the contest got started by howtheyscored who kicked off the 2007 season with the results posts and Fooch picking the weekly games. After three seasons, life's other duties forced a change and bignerd was the next man up to run the results, stepping up for the 2010 season and carrying it forward through 2014 and into the 2015 season. I stepped in mid-season in 2015 after having taking an interest in running my own set of results. The 2016 season came about and we had to cancel the regular season part of the contest but we salvaged a season ending Playoff contest and have been doing it ever since, including two seasons competing against the Browns (Dawgs By Nature) Top 16 players (2018 and 2019). Kyle Posey picked up leading the weekly prediction games posts as of the 2019 season.
