IABL Predict The Score: Week 12, Tampa Bay at Indianapolis, 26 November 2023

Post by Xandtar »

Hello

I'll be travelling this week, flying into Fort Myers, seeing family, and driving up to somewhere south of Tampa to see a friend on Friday, so I'm starting this and putting it on autopilot, so when I get back sometime Sunday afternoon or evening, I'll post the wrap-up.

First off, congratulations to Kress, who just beat out Buc2 with a prediction that was only two points off, Bucs 16 Niners 27 to the actual score of Bucs 14 Niners 27. Well done, Kress.

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.

Tiebreaker for next week: Passing yards by Baker Mayfield.

----
I'll begin.

This week, the Bucs AGAIN plays a team coming off a bye, for the umpteenth time this season. The Colts are on a 2-game winning streak, having beaten the Panthers and the Patriots after losing to the Saints three games back. They're 5-5 and mired in third behind Jacksonville and Houston, as we are now mired in third behind New Orleans and Atlanta. They play each other next week so there's no miracle pick-up-one-game on the division next week no matter what we do.

I always predict a low scoring game with a Bucs win so I don't expect to ever win this contest this season, but I don't care.

Tampa Bay 13
Indianapolis 10

Mayfield 248 yards

Your turn.

Ummmm @Xandtar I am so confused by games 8&9 below- did we play the bills twice in a row and I missed it? Lol

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!)

This is a do or die game for the Bucs. If they lose you might as well write the Bucs off for playing in the post season.

... well clearly I did. I'll fix this later, I'm tired.

I was so blown away by the points difference that I wanted to forget we lost to the Texans... kind of like another game I see in the record books but I don't recall.

In order to obtain a high enough draft pick to get a premium QB, we need to lose a lot more games. As a result of this need, we fuck it all up again and win.

I have been naively predicting Bucs to score big for the last 5 or so weeks. What can I say, despite everything that has gone down I am an optimist when it comes to my beloved Bucs. So are you it seems like.

Hmm. An interesting week.

Looks like Nobody is five points off and gets the win this week.

However, Kress has pulled off the super-rare Honorable Mention, for hitting the score straight... for the wrong teams. Congrats Kress, you only see one of those every other season or so.

I put your Honorable Mention sig in the thread where you requested it, but I'll leave the better-quality paint file here so you can see what Bucco Bruce was supposed to look like before the image washed out. Yes I am color blind, I do the best I can.
