IABL Predict The Score: Week 14, Tampa Bay at Atlanta 10 December 2023

Post by Xandtar »

Hello

Welcome back, in December now.

Congrats this week for excellent prognostication go to TonyLip, who won for the second time this season, only two points off the actual score of 21-18. It's a tight race in the season standings, with Nobody holding a slight lead of 7 points off overall on two wins. Plenty of weekly wins still available, who will come away with the season victory?

The season standings are as follows:
Week 1: Jonny, Predicted Bucs 20 Vikings 17, 0 points off. Whoa! :shock:
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.
Week 4: Buc2, Predicted Bucs 23, Saints 13, 7 points off.
Week 6: Four Verticals, Predicted Bucs 10, Lions 24, 8 points off.
Week 7: No winner, as no one predicted a Bucs loss.
Week 8: Nobody, Predicted Bucs 16, Bills 24, 2 points off.
Week 9: Bahamian:bucfan, Predicted Bucs 20, Texans 25, 31 points off.
Week 10: TonyLip, Predicted Bucs 19, Titans 13, 11 points off.
Week 11: Kress, Predicted Bucs 16, Niners 27, 2 points off.
Week 12: Nobody, Predicted Bucs 21, Colts 23, 5 points off.
Week 13: TonyLip, Predicted Bucs 20, Titans 17, 2 points off.

Tiebreaker for next week: Total yards from scrimmage for the Bucs.
--------------
I'll begin.

Did anyone really expect the Bucs flag to be "in the hunt" in the playoff projections this week? I saw it on Sunday the sad little 4-7 and groaned, but it's still there. This is the week it goes away, if Atlanta has anything to do with it, the division title is theirs to lose. Or is it ours to win, the jury is still out. Sunday will let us know whether to put the Hopeium away or ask Doctor to make a new batch of the battered-but-not-yet-beaten variety.

As always, I predict too low a score. I see no reason to change now, someone has to hold down the lowest score spot.

Tampa Bay 13
Atlanta 10
261 yards.

Your turn.

I would settle for forcing the Falcons to punt more than 4 times during the game. :oops:

I'll settle for a repeat of the 1st game this season. The Falcons punt 3 times, turned the ball over 3 times and we forced 3 FGs and only allowed 16 points. Hence why I'm predicting a repeat.

Yet, the Buccaneers still lost. I hope you don't want a repeat of that.

Because the offense scored 13 points. I'm predicting 31 so obviously I don't want that. Concepts like context and nuance are completely lost on you.

I'm down voting you because it seems more fun to mess with you and Bootz than watch the Bucs play.

This is one of those games we should win. Our run defense should neutralize their rushing attack.

Our pass rush and blitz package should rattle their young QB.

Baker Mayfield should shred their secondary for 3 TD and 300+ yards.

But these are our Bucs, aloof and out of focus since the bye week. Barely able to top the lowly Panthers at home last week. A potential trip to the post season seems like a fruitless endeavour with this years team.

Somehow, the total equals less than the parts with this team. Despite the fact that the Bucs out talent Atlanta by miles, we're unlikely to get the job done under the current coaching debacle. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Not excited about this game. Sadly, I expect this game will eliminate the Buccaneers from playoff contention (not that they really had a shot at the Super Bowl anyway, but that is always painful when they are eliminated).

I was two points off the score until the Buccaneers got their final score. I am SO happy I was wrong.

Me too, 13F11B, me too.

Congratulations to Bahamian:Bucfan for his second win of the season, 35-27 is a net 8 points off the actual score of 29-25, just edging the other BB (27-18) and GreatTimes (24-21), who were off 9 points each.

Well done, all of you, as usual this season I was off by a mile, since our D can't hold anyone to under 2 TDs.
