Predict the Score: Week 2 Vs 0-1 Atlanta Falcons
Week 1: Rocker 31-24
It's week 2 so time to start division play, this week against the Falcons. Last year was a series sweep for the Bucs but we had to come back 24-7 to do it. Both games were exciting so let's see what 2021 brings.
Bucs of course are coming off their 31-29 win verses the Cowboys on opening night. The Falcons meanwhile are coming off a 32-6 beatdown by the Eagles. Falcons only score was a pair of FGs in the first half.
Vegas is predicting another beat down as the Bucs are a -12.5 favorite in Tampa. The O/U is set at 52 and FPI gives the Bucs a 78.1% chance of winning.
The tiebreaker this week is....the passing yards of Matt Ryan. He only threw for 164 in the first game but averaged 310 YPG vs the Bucs last year.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31
Atlanta Falcons 17
Ryan 285

Re: Predict the Score: Week 2 Vs 0-1 Atlanta Falcons
Home team usually gets a 3 point advantage against even strength, so essentially 10 points to the plus for a team as talented as we are is almost offensive. Then again, we're down a starting corner... on the other hand, we have, as Brian Baldinger put it, "Pure Polynesian Power" in the middle of the line against an interior that got abused by Philly.
I'll call it 34-20 in our favor. Two for Evans, one on the ground, and a defensive score. Atlanta picks up yards and ten points late.

Re: Predict the Score: Week 2 Vs 0-1 Atlanta Falcons
After seeing what the Eagles were able to do against that Falcon defense, I have no idea how they plan on keeping us out of the end zone. I'm thinking 5 first half TD's, possible 1 FG, then Gabbert for the 3rd Q and Trask for the 4th. I'll go with...
52-10
I don't think Matt Ryan plays the 2nd half. I say 140 yards.

Ryan throws 236 yards and our defense makes this win needlessly complicated

9x7 for the Bucs. Gronk moves out wide and Mike slips in next to the tackle.

Re: Predict the Score: Week 2 Vs 0-1 Atlanta Falcons
Predicted a blowout last week. Was disappointed by nearly everything except the scratch mark in the lefthand column.
Not deterred. Bucs get our first blowout of the season. 49-14. The corpse of Matty Ice racks up some cheap second half yards and ends up with 331 for the game.

Matty Ice will get his yards and TDs but the Bucs D will have its moments as well. Brady will not be stopped.

34-13 good guys
Ryan throws for 275
And as always, I never read the thread so if I picked same score as someone else, it probably means you suck at this too
