IABL Predict The Score: Week 2, Chicago at Tampa Bay, 17 September

[Xandtar]

Welcome back.

Congrats to Jonny for hitting the score of Bucs 20 Vikings 17 straight.

The Bucs start 1-0.

This week, da Bears are coming to town. They're 0-1.

Like Minnesota last week, our next opponent after this game is the Eagles. I hope we don't get trapped looking ahead, one game at a time.

That said, let's begin.

Tiebreaker this week is total rushing yards by the Bucs.

Since I never pick the Bucs to lose but I have a bad feeling about this game, I'm going even more Bucball than last week.

Tampa Bay 13, Bears 7

Total rushing yards 112

Your turn.

We should honestly slaughter this team.


28-10 Bucs

[BuccaNOLEer]

Depends on which version of Baker Mayfield shows up. If the first half version shows up, it's going to be a struggle. If the last drive of the first half and the second half version shows up, we win easily.

27-13 Bucs

108 rushing yards

Bears looked awful last week. I think best case we destroy them, worst case we get into a shoot out. At the least we should score a ton of points. Containing Fields from running all over us is the key on D. Bowles D has struggled with running QBs in the past.

Which team will shoot itself in the foot this weekend? Last week the Vikings gifted the game to the Bucs with 3 turnovers.
The Bucs are a 3 point favorite and I agree with that.

Bucs 24, Bears 21.

A friend of mine is a Bears fan. He says the Bucs got this. They just need to blitz a lot because the Bears can't stop it. So, of course, this will be the week Bowles holds off on the blitzing.

We should have a huge advantage with the pass rush, but stopping the run is going to be the key. That's pretty much their entire offense.

Can a week two game be a trap?

Amazing how much more optimistic everyone is after that win in Minny.

Amazing how much more optimistic everyone is after that win in Minny.

Defense looked good. Offense looked capable. Minnesota won 13 games last year. To go in there and beat them was no small feat.

Amazing how much more optimistic everyone is after that win in Minny.

Go look at my prediction last week. I am not much more optimistic.

Wait until we're 3-0. I'll be needing a new prescription pad.
