I know this is a little soon but I am traveling tomorrow, so I suggest people hold off making predictions tonight, let tempers cool first.
That said, welcome again to Predict The Score. You know what to do. But first, congrats to Buc2 who at first glance won the Week 3 contest with a 4 points off prediction, beating out acmillis with an anemic 60 yards for Godwin which itself was far over Godwin's real 32 yards. Edit: Buc2 has declined to accept the win (see Week 3 thread). acmillis is declared the winner of this week's contest.
The season standings are therefore as follows:
Week 1: Jonny, Predicted Bucs 20 Vikings 17, 0 points off. Whoa!
Week 2: Doooshnzl, Predicted Bucs 28, Bears 17, 1 point off, winning the tiebreaker over Kaimaru and Bootz (so close!)
Week 3: acmillis, Predicted Bucs 14 Eagles 26, 4 points off.
Now, the 2-1 Bucs travel to New Orleans to face the 2-1 Saints. Both teams lost this week, the Bucs in a more humiliating fashion, but nevertheless first place in the South goes to the winner so it is a huge game, bigger in its way than tonight's game.
Two tiebreakers will be used.
The first tiebreaker is total turnovers by both teams.
If that is a tie, the second tiebreaker is total yards from scrimmage for the Bucs offense (not defense, not special teams).

I'll begin.
I think the Bucs will win this game, thanks to the Saints QB.
Bucs 13
Saints 10
Total turnovers: 7
Total yards from scrimmage (offense): 290
Your turn.
