Welcome again to Predict The Score. With a Thursday night game coming up, woohoo, and both teams done playing today, I'm starting early.
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.
Any given Thursday... no rest, both teams lost late, but the Bills are at home and it's predicted to be unseasonably warm for upstate New York, low Thursday 62 degrees and cloudy, low chance of rain. I don't even want to guess the betting line for this game.
Tiebreaker this week is total yards on the ground for our running game.
----
I'll begin.
No matter how awful our Bucs look, I shall never pick against them in this contest. Maybe Baker has a good day, maybe our interior line will actually open some holes big enough for a RB's butt to pass through. But I'm going Bucball all the way, with somehow our defense holding the Bills to three field goals. Maybe they get a pick six, that would explain the TD in my prediction.
Tampa Bay 10
Buffalo 9
Rushing yards 72
