IABL Predict The Score: Week 15, Tampa Bay at Green Bay, 17 December 2023
Hello
Time for another round.
Congrats this week goes to Bahamian:bucfan, with his second victory this season, just barely beating two others. With the other win being 31 points off, B:b has to win one more time to take the season trophy, he's totally behind in every tiebreaker.
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.
Week 13: TonyLip, Predicted Bucs 20, Titans 17, 2 points off.
Week 14: Bahamian:Bucfan, Predicted Bucs 35, Falcons 25, 8 points off.
Tiebreaker for next week: First tiebreaker, Sacks taken by GB QB(s). Second tiebreaker, Sacks taken by the good guys. Third tiebreaker (in case there are no sacks), closest to the Bucs' score.
--------------
I'll begin.
I believe Doc must have passed a little Hopeium around because the comments after Monday night's game in New Jersey do not seem to have us losing out, for the first time in weeks it seems. I took one small sip of it but this game is key. Green Bay is hurting and they're on a short week, but they still have playoff hopes and they're at home. But it won't be frozen, high of 41 degrees, overcast with light winds and a slight chance of rain.
Essentially the playoffs started for us two games ago, it is amazing that with three weeks to go a) that 30 teams still have a chance to make the playoffs and b) that if we win out, we're either a 4 seed or in the most imaginative squeezing of the playoff machine, a 3 seed going into the postseason. Two weeks ago we were wondering if we could still get the #2 or 3 pick.
This of course could be the beginning of a Grudenesque 4-game collapse. You never know. But I'm not picking the Bucs to lose, I haven't yet.
Tampa Bay 13
Green Bay 10
Sacks 2 each.
Your turn.

As I said in another thread, if the Bucs win in Green Bay, we'll be good enough to win all of the remaining games and division.

Since the NFL powers to be have censored the game in SWFL:
I'm predicting a tie 17-17 with both teams scoring a FG in OT.
GB QB sacked 4 times, Bucs QB sacked 2 times, and the game officials need to be sacked.

You can't just be picking a losing score for us without explaining how or why you think we will get outmatched by our opponents. Others have that privilege, you sir, do not.
Are there any matchups keeping an eye on?

Even with injuries and weather elements, Packers O is much better than Bucs O. Yet I will go against all logic and pick the Bucs 27-24. Bucs 3 sacks, Packers 1 sack.

Sigh, the Bucs cut me out again.
Re: IABL Predict The Score: Week 15, Tampa Bay at Green Bay, 17 December 2023
It would have made my job easier, mdb.
This came down to the second tiebreaker. Kress (30-16), TonyLip (28-22), and Doooshnzl (30-24) were all 8 points off, leaving BiBl fourth at 9 points off.
First tiebreaker (only 1 sack by the Bucs) eliminated Dooshnzl (4/2), and the second tiebreaker, with 5 sacks recorded by the Packers, goes to the over, TonyLip (3/3) over Kress (3/2).
Congratulations, TonyLip, in the deepest tiebreaker win of the year, you are the winner this week!
If you want a winner's sig, well you probably saw the Honorable Mention Kress picked up for the Colts game. That's my plain example and BiBl's is my game photo example. Just let me know. X.

Re: IABL Predict The Score: Week 15, Tampa Bay at Green Bay, 17 December 2023
Nooooo- they’re all tied for first which puts me in second place
Seriously though @Xandtar thanks for this thread and for making the sig pics for the winners. I appreciate your time, energy and effort!

Re: IABL Predict The Score: Week 15, Tampa Bay at Green Bay, 17 December 2023
@Jonny , Kress wasn't lying! That was definitely a not-insignificant part of the calculus. That plus the very solid receiving back Jones (especially in the Screen game) returning didn't bode well for us getting crucial stops where Jones was involved...and or big plays generated because we (White) abandon/neglect our assignment to cover him.
Beyond that, you're just talking about looking at the mean and median numbers for both teams, their trends, and a few other particular matchups (like Love's ability to extend plays and our struggles getting those guys onto the ground and staying attached downfield + our iOL struggles and Kenny Clark and Devonte Wyatt wreaking havoc).
Re: IABL Predict The Score: Week 15, Tampa Bay at Green Bay, 17 December 2023
Foul!
Packers 5
TL 3, Me 3
Tie 2 off
Bucs 1
TL 3, Me 2
Fuzzy math ensues.
Re: IABL Predict The Score: Week 15, Tampa Bay at Green Bay, 17 December 2023
Sack'em is us sacking em, er them and you both picked 3, you were both off by two. Sack'us is them sacking us and you were more optimistic than TonyLip. The pessimist who predicted both a Bucs win and the QB being pounded the most won the week. Luckily next week's contest is less, er, potentially confusing??? I mean it's hard to confuse the field goals, right? Right?
Heh, we'll see!
