IABL Predict The Score: Week 19, Philadelphia at Tampa Bay, 15 January 2024
Hello to all.
Welcome back to a bonus edition of Predict The Score, for at least one game we're past the regular season, and with what is likely our last home game of the season.
I've been predicting bucball all season long, and every week either our offense clicks or our defense sucks or both. This past week, finally, defense won the day when the offense couldn't generate ten points. Normally we lose those but shades of Tony Dungy. So I finally picked up a win, woot. Barring a tremendous comeback TonyLip is going to win the season contest. But there are at least two contests to go so it's not over yet.
The season standings are as follows:
Week 1: Jonny, Predicted Bucs 20 Vikings 17, 0 points off. Whoa! (wins/total points off 1/0)
Week 2: Doooshnzl, Predicted Bucs 28, Bears 17, 1 point off, winning the tiebreaker over Kaimaru and Bootz (so close!)(1/1)
Week 3: acmillis, Predicted Bucs 14 Eagles 26, 4 points off. (1/4)
Week 4: Buc2, Predicted Bucs 23, Saints 13, 7 points off. (1/7)
Week 6: Four Verticals, Predicted Bucs 10, Lions 24, 8 points off. (1/8)
Week 7: No winner, as no one predicted a Bucs loss. (---/---)
Week 8: Nobody, Predicted Bucs 16, Bills 24, 2 points off. (1/2)
Week 9: Bahamian:bucfan, Predicted Bucs 20, Texans 25, 31 points off. (1/31)
Week 10: TonyLip, Predicted Bucs 19, Titans 13, 11 points off. (1/11)
Week 11: Kress, Predicted Bucs 16, Niners 27, 2 points off. (1/2)
Week 12: Nobody, Predicted Bucs 21, Colts 23, 5 points off. Honorable mention to Kress! (2/7)
Week 13: TonyLip, Predicted Bucs 20, Titans 17, 2 points off. (2/13)
Week 14: Bahamian:Bucfan, Predicted Bucs 35, Falcons 25, 8 points off. (2/39)
Week 15: TonyLip, Predicted Bucs Bucs 28, Packers 22 with 3 sacks each, 8 points off. (3/21)
Week 16: CannonFire, Predicted Bucs 27, Jaguars 10 with a 51-yard Bucs FG, 5 points and 1 yard off. (1/5)
Week 17: acmillis, Predicted Bucs 13, Saints 22, 1 point off. (2/5)
Week 18: Xandtar, Predicted Bucs 13, Panthers 10, 13 points off (1/13).
The tiebreaker next week is total yards of offense by the Philadelphia Eagles (season average 354 yards per game)
----------------
I'll begin.
This game is truly a roll of the dice. We've seen the Bucs play great, we've seen dog turds less stinky than the Bucs. Everyone knows the winner goes to San Francisco to probably get destroyed in the divisional round, but that's so irrelevant to this game. With that in mind, I'm going to predict that the Bucs give up lots of yards, lots of yards, but they hold and hold and hold when it counts, leading to lots of field goals by the bad guys.
Tampa Bay 13
Philadelphia 12
395 yards.
Your turn.

Phi 29
TB 13
326 yards. Baker has 3 turnovers, one for a TD. Philly attempts very few passes and just grinds us down via the run.

Sports media pundits mostly lean towards the Bucs moving on to the divisional round in a close game. I tend to agree with them.

Are the Eagles forums filled with hope and joy, or are they more gloom and doom when assessing the Eagles chances against the Bucs?Xandtar wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 4:16 pmI am on an Eagles board somewhere but I was referring to posts in this forum.

Go to Philadelphiaeagles.com and check out their 'inspirational' video. Even the team is desperate! I can't link it here but perhaps someone can in a more relevant thread on the upcoming game.GreatTimes wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 6:04 pmAre the Eagles forums filled with hope and joy, or are they more gloom and doom when assessing the Eagles chances against the Bucs?

The Eagles will have 189 total yards of offense? Are you predicting two pick 6s for the Eagle's defense?

Looks like we have our winner with a 9pt differential.
Anyone want to validate this?

Well done. I am feeling a little better but I can't think very well so I defer to you BiBl to set up the next one.
Yes I confirm your results, ironically I think someone from one of the other threads here was closest but they have to post in this thread, oh well.

Give yourself to Wednesday and if you don’t feel like setting it up let me know and I will do it (Albeit more poorly).

On the mend, slowly, but I think I can handle this. Thanks for helping out.
