We're at the point now where winning can clinch our spot in the playoffs. We're the #2 seed so we're still well in sight of a potential bye.

Bucs are coming off their dramatic 33-27 OT win against the Bills on Sunday. The Saints are coming off 30-9 win against the New York Jets. They only led 10-6 at HT, but it never got closer than that.

The Bucs are a -11 favorite against the Saints in Tampa, the O/U is set at 46.5, and FPI gives the Bucs a 75.6% chance of winning the game.

The tiebreaker this week is...the total yards of QB Taysom Hill. Back from injury, had about 250 against the Jets last week.

Here I quoted your edit so it is fixed in place. It is many years since PG edited his "prediction" after the game in the thread that preceded my creating the regular predict the score series goodness, 16 years ago? 15? But it's always safe to either repost a prediction or quote your old prediction like this with your replacement. The thread series isn't mine anymore and I don't know if this problem has ever come up on Nano's watch, but it's just best-practices to quote rather than directly edit a score prediction. My free advice, probably worth every penny you paid for it.

[Xandtar]

Probably 17 now that I think about it, ca. 2004. I had a list of rules so long then it rivaled a new car bill of sale. Thankfully, we don't need those anymore, we know how this works, and the one time earlier this year when someone had a question, Nano made a call. Now the date and time of your edit clearly marks that it was made pre-game so you don't HAVE to use quotes... but that assumes Nano wants to read the fine print at the bottom of an edited post. Hey maybe he doesn't mind, y'know? Anyway, / opinion piece, back to the score predictions.

Congratulations, Bootz.

As in Week 10, you predicted the upset loss and it happened.

I know you didn't wear the winner's sig before but then I put a spin on the picture as I probably should not have. This time, as a double winner, I used an old classic sig that hasn't seen daylight for a while and personalized it. Whether you wear it or not, again congratulations on being this week's winner.

I’ll wear this one. As soon as someone teaches me how to put it in my signature thing

[Babeinbucland]

Apparently when we made our predictions, the rest of us were just high AF

[Xandtar]

I predicted Bucball. Who knew our offense couldn't score 13 points? Oh well I "predict" I won't be alone in going to Bucball next week.
