Who are Car Nack and Looking Forward?

So, there was a thread somewhat discussing Looking Forward that I found from 2009, but I thought it might just be easier to make a new thread for discussing both of them. I was reading Looking Forward's Week 6 predictions this morning, and this strange thought occurred to me:

What if Car Nack isn't one single person, but the entire GDC making bets on the game ideas they implemented?

Then, I also had a more fun thought, what if Looking Forward is a combination of Dean, Woodie, and Bill? It wouldn't surprise me if they had the entire history of every team memorized and could make accurate predictions about each and every regional.
