IABL PREDICT THE SCORE: Week 5, Tampa Bay @ Atlanta, 3 October

[Bootz]

Welcome back so soon!

Its a short week for the Bucs. Thursday night football and a trip to Atlanta calls. Congratulations to @CannonFire for winning a close week 4 battle.

The offense found their groove yesterday and put up 33 on the Eagles. This week back on the road, we face Atlanta who's pretty good offensively and puts up points when they need them.

Vegas this week has Atlanta as -2.5 favs. Sadly I think that's about right. We've played each other very close in recent games. That 43.5 point spread though, we're definitely taking the over. But, short week on the road, some key injuries, not liking the matchup.

Tiebreaker this week will be Mike Evans' yards. In 18 games vs Atlanta Evans has put up 92 catches, 1407 yards and 11 TDs. That's about 5 catches and 78 yards a game. Pretty good.

Bootz Prediction
Buccaneers 26
Falcons 29

Evans yards 88

Winners

Week 1: Doctor- 35-16 Bucs
Week 2: Bootz- 24-20 Bucs
Week 3: No winner
Week 4: CannonFire- 30-17 Bucs

Place your bets and good luck.

Go Bucs!

Is it reverse psychology schtick for you to pick against the Bucs every week? Feels like it's almost what you want to happen. Just naturally pessimistic?

At least he makes a prediction each week. And as evidence by there being no winner week 3, he doesnt pick against us every week. All predictions are welcomed, yours included.

Division opponent (anything is possible).
Short week.
On the Road.
Vegas has us as a dog as well.

I can relate to that being a Bucs' fan my entire life. I hope they change your mind.

5-10 all time on Thursday I think? That 56-14 trouncing in Atlanta is still etched in my brain.

[Selmon Rules]

Since the team I have been picking to win has lost every time this year, I'm taking another one for the team this week and not picking the BUCS.

27-24 bad guys

Mike gets 75



Now they can make a loser out of me again, lol

Their offense doesn’t do much. Baker just takes control and flexes with Bucky. Possible pick six vibes.
