Who Wins, Bucs vs Colts?

[BornaBuc47]

I guess we're not allowed to bet here which is why my thread got deleated? Sorry if I created a stir. So who wins according to the fine posters of this message board? Does Dungy get his 2nd win against his former team or does Gruden catch up with the win? We're looking at 10.5 to 20 point underdog threads so if the Bucs win we will be looked at as legit competitors in the NFC. Can anybody provide a post of anybody who has picked the Bucs to win?

Colts win, something like 31-17.  The Colts should win, they are the reigning Super Bowl champs, and the Bucs are coming off a 4-12 season.  The Bucs have no business even being in this game.  We shall see what happens on Sunday.

Bucs 31, Colts 20. Bucs trail going into the fourth. Force three overall turnovers, including two in the fourth. One short TD after a turnover and one long play (that seals the deal).

The Bucs have a good shot at beating the Colt. I think its going to be a good game . It's going to show us what the Bucs have this year.  Win or lose it a big test for the Bucs!!!

Was that serious?

Anyways, the Colts injury report lists 5 Colts starters who could miss this game. Their starting running back Joseph Addai, and HOF WR Marvin Harrison, both outside linebackers Rob Morris and Freddy Heiaho, and safety Bob Sanders. Also, T.J. Rushing, the team's kickoff/punt return specialist is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury.

IND averages 7.2 yards per punt return and 25.5 per kick return.
TB Gives up on average 10.85 per punt return and 14.375 per kick return.

TB averages 12.21 yards per punt return, and 23 per kick return.
IND gives up on average 29.5 per punt return, and 25 per kick return.

Could we possibly see a PR for a touchdown?

I think the Bucs match up very well against this Colts team, and if we're able to take the crowd out of the game early, we could take this one.

I'm calling Buccaneers: 34 Colts: 27

He's got the worst pick percentage of all of them. He's 500 picking straight up games. That's terrible. I'm picking better then that with the spread. Where's Illuminator, John Galt, and all the other Grudenista's to put down their score predictions on the Bucs?

Bucs-13
Colts-24

Can anybody provide a post of anybody who has picked the Bucs to win?

At CBS Prisco and Judge have the Bucs to cover.

My bet Bucs 34 Colts 31 in OT

Who's Shaun King pick?

[Bucfanut]

How bout this, BornaCOLT:Since you pick your Colts to win by 11, if the Bucs cover the 10, you agree to jump on I-275 in rush hour traffic and get hit by the fastest moving 18 wheeler you can find, mmm k?

Ugh, stay in school!

Gruden looks like he needs some situps in that photo.
