Note:
We're predicting for PS2 for the Unit results only. As there are bonus points granted for finishing in the Top 10 by units, PS2 results could still minorly affect points, but the 20 points granted for the PS2 closeness in the point results is now removed for 2010. We'll still predict for PS2 as long as NPD publicly releases the results, though.
Prediction entries must be in and finalized by 5 p.m. EDT on Sunday, April 11th. Format use is required if you want your entry counted.
