IABL Predict The Score: Week 18, Tampa Bay at Carolina, 7 January 2024
Welcome back everyone, to the final regular season version of Predict The Score. If we win, the series will continue until the Bucs Season is over, and there's a special Super Bowl version regardless of who's in it, so the season contest won't be over until then.
First things first, congratulations to acmillis, who'd expressed his uncertainty with how Baker Mayfield performs when praised and how the coaching staff responds to being noticed, and backed it up with the closest prediction of 13 Bucs 22 Saints when the actual score was 13-23.
Oh my! My apologies, TonyLip, YOU are leading the season standings with three wins. But there are at least two more weekly contests before we crown a season champion, so let's keep going!
The season standings are as follows:
Week 1: Jonny, Predicted Bucs 20 Vikings 17, 0 points off. Whoa! (wins/total points off 1/0)
Week 2: Doooshnzl, Predicted Bucs 28, Bears 17, 1 point off, winning the tiebreaker over Kaimaru and Bootz (so close!)(1/1)
Week 3: acmillis, Predicted Bucs 14 Eagles 26, 4 points off. (1/4)
Week 4: Buc2, Predicted Bucs 23, Saints 13, 7 points off. (1/7)
Week 6: Four Verticals, Predicted Bucs 10, Lions 24, 8 points off. (1/8)
Week 7: No winner, as no one predicted a Bucs loss. (---/---)
Week 8: Nobody, Predicted Bucs 16, Bills 24, 2 points off. (1/2)
Week 9: Bahamian:bucfan, Predicted Bucs 20, Texans 25, 31 points off. (1/31)
Week 10: TonyLip, Predicted Bucs 19, Titans 13, 11 points off. (1/11)
Week 11: Kress, Predicted Bucs 16, Niners 27, 2 points off. (1/2)
Week 12: Nobody, Predicted Bucs 21, Colts 23, 5 points off. Honorable mention to Kress! (2/7)
Week 13: TonyLip, Predicted Bucs 20, Titans 17, 2 points off. (2/13)
Week 14: Bahamian:Bucfan, Predicted Bucs 35, Falcons 25, 8 points off. (2/39)
Week 15: TonyLip, Predicted Bucs Bucs 28, Packers 22 with 3 sacks each, 8 points off. (3/21)
Week 16: CannonFire, Predicted Bucs 27, Jaguars 10 with a 51-yard Bucs FG, 5 points and 1 yard off. (1/5)
Week 17: acmillis, Predicted Bucs 13, Saints 22, 1 point off. (2/5)
The tiebreaker next week is White's yards from scrimmage, again, for the same reason, he's still not statistically out of getting a thousand yards despite the turd on Sunday when the Bucs played from behind the whole game.
----------------
I'll begin.
Hopium? How about f-the-playoffs-just-win-already? The Bucs should win this game. if the Bucs knock the Kitties down early, the Kitties' players have little reason to risk their health going into the offseason. They'll play to win if it's close of course, knocking someone else out of the playoffs when you can't go yourself is its own fun as we well know, but... the Bucs are the better team and now the media is ignoring them again, which is good. I always predict it close, finishing the regular season like I started it.
Tampa Bay 13
Carolina 10
White 85 yards (he doesn't get the 1000, oh well)
Your turn.

If White gets negative 54 yards, I can guarantee you the Bucs aren't scoring 31 points.

If the Bucs win next week, the Bucs will be able to boast they are the best of the worst.

First off, congratulations to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for winning the division and being 0-0 in the playoffs just like every other team that made it.
It only happened once, but Bucball finally happened for me and I'll take the win for the final game of the regular season (Predicted 13-10, actual score 9-0, 17 points off).
We'll see when we're to play, I'll probably post the Wild Card round Predict The Score thread tomorrow sometime. Let's see the regular season out first.
Thanks to all of you who stuck through an entire regular season of Predict The Score. We're in bonus coverage now with at least two contests to go.
See y'all in a couple of days.
