IABL Predict The Score: Week 17, New Orleans at Tampa Bay, 31 December 2023
Greetings
Welcome back to Predict The Score. Here we go, two games in the regular season and for some strange reason people still care, hmm. Anyway, first off, Congratulations to CannonFire, who's been posting predictions right from September 2021 and finally pulled off a win. His victory came by a tiebreaker for the second week in a row, as both he and BuccaNOLEer predicted five-points-off 27-10, but his 52 yard long FG was closer than BuccaNOLEer's 45 long FG. Well done, CannonFire.
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.
Week 16: CannonFire, Predicted Bucs 27, Jaguars 10 with a 51-yard Bucs FG, 5 points and 1 yard off.
The tiebreaker next week is Rachaad White's rushing yards. He's 127 yards from 1000 for the season and I would not be surprised there's a huge bonus for him if he gets it. Last week, the whole team struggled on the ground but any given Sunday.
----------------
I'll begin.
Four weeks into the Buccaneers' playoff run and they have delivered like no one expected. NFL.com has the Bucs cracking the top ten in the league this week. Streaks do that. But now, now is the test. Now the Saints who have a little extra rest on their mini-bye and a huge incentive to win THEIR last two games to punch a playoff ticket, are coming to town to make a statement. Simply put, other than the Lions game where we completely blew it, this is the biggest game of the season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and I am concerned. Too many accolades, too much butt kissing by the media, and no attention being paid to the Saints at all. Still, I am hopeful that we step up with a much better ground game and destroy the Saints' playoff dreams once and for all.
As always, I go low scoring, and I expect to lose the contest. Who cares, it's what I do just like mdb's high score that the coaches cheated him out of last week.
Tampa Bay 13
New Orleans 10
White 101 yards.
Your turn.

Just read where the Saints will be without CB Lattimore and WR Thomas. Lattimore has always been a thorn in WR Evans side.

I am debating if I stay with the Voodoo or go with my instinct on this one.

If you go with us winning and we lose I will blame you. Does that help?

Saints have to win this game. Bucs do not...even if a win would make their road to the playoffs much easier.

Not looking like that's gonna be a problem, lol
Looks like the Yucks showed up today
Re: IABL Predict The Score: Week 17, New Orleans at Tampa Bay, 31 December 2023
This was a pretty easy one.
Congrats acmillis, your 13-22 prediction was only 1 point off of the actual score of 13-23.
You have also grabbed the season lead with 2 wins and cumulative 5 points off.
Well done.
