IABL Predict the Score: Week 16, Jacksonville at Tampa Bay, 24 December 2023
IABL Predict the Score: Week 16, Jacksonville at Tampa Bay, 24 December 2023
Hello
Another week, another win for TonyLip, who grabbed the season lead courtesy of a second-tiebreaker victory over Kress and Doooshnzl. With his third win this year, there's still a mathematical chance for the winless to catch up, and so long as the Bucs play the contest goes on, but seriously, Congratulations TonyLip, you're rocking it right now, maybe you should take one of those trips to Vegas like Ichy just did.
The season standings are 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.
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. Honorable mention to Kress!
Week 13: TonyLip, Predicted Bucs 20, Titans 17, 2 points off.
Week 14: Bahamian:Bucfan, Predicted Bucs 35, Falcons 25, 8 points off.
Week 15: TonyLip, Predicted Bucs Bucs 28, Packers 22 with 3 sacks each, 8 points off.
First and second tiebreakers next week: In distance, length of made field goals by 1) Bucs and 2) Jags. Third tiebreaker if it's a TD-only game is closest to the Bucs score.
----------------
I'll begin.
You know what I see out there? I see a team that has started to say to themselves a narrative that winning teams have, that instead of saying "Oh we gotta play first place Jacksonville then somehow survive New Orleans", is saying, "They gotta play US. Advantage, us." We're not used to this narrative in December, we weren't in 2020 and it still feels un-Buc-like, but as I found an actual moonshine store here in Pennsylvania I guess its a good substitute for the Hopeium nobody wanted from Doc in midseason. The Bucs are as good as the Jags, and they're playing at home in what's really a need-this-for-the-playoffs game for both teams. It promises to be a good game. How many of OUR predictors will resist the lure of Doc's Hopeium to predict that Jacksonville's greater need for this win will propel them to victory on Christmas Eve? We shall see.
As for me, I've lost every time this season because I'm taking the low prediction week after week. I don't mind a season where I win no contests, though. It's been a fun run this year.
Tampa Bay 13
Jacksonville 10

I think I'll wait until I see what's up with Lawrence.

And I am only predicting this because they have been winning when I have been predicting loses. Need to help them out with as much Voodoo as possible.

By qualifying your pick, doesn't that negate the voodoo and turn on the jinx?

Right. So 27/31, 427, 5-0
Got it.

I'm not scared of Lawrence this year and not with a tweaked ankle (my guess is his noggin will clear and he'll play). If the same team that took the field last week for the Bucs takes the field this week, I think we get them. If Devin White somehow finds his way onto the field, then Ettiene will have a day and we lose. But I don't think White plays.

Re: IABL Predict the Score: Week 16, Jacksonville at Tampa Bay, 24 December 2023
I'm going without Lawrence, but that also means heavy reliance on Etienne ripping us to shreds. I'm picturing over 150 all purpose yards. Ugh, no matter how I slice it I hate this matchup for us.

No Field Goals count, if the Bucs win and score all TDs, those who stated no field goals win the tiebreaker. That goes for the "Jagged Kitties" as well!

We score a TD on our first possession.
The o-line run blocks the best all season.
The defense comes alive with more great plays than we thought was possible.
Bucs - 42 to 0!

Re: IABL Predict the Score: Week 16, Jacksonville at Tampa Bay, 24 December 2023
Sadly, no, but it was a great day for CannonFire, whose 27-10 and 52 yard FG prediction beat out BuccaNOLEer's 27-10 and 45 yard FG prediction, for the actual score of 30-12 and 51 yard FG.
Congrats, CannonFire, it's been a long time since you last won. Or is this the first time? Either way, it's a good week, well done.
I'll hold off starting the next thread until Tuesday. Let this be the present for all of us suffering fans on this holiday weekend. Merry Christmas, everybody.
