The Bucs had an impressive defensive game against the Bills to move to 2-0. A solid defense and a quality running game = WinsAnd the Bucs have used that equation to stay undefeated in this early part of the season.
This week the Bucs go up to Lambeau Field in Green Bay to take on the 2-0 Packers. This game scares me for a couple of reasons. First, the value of the game... for the Bucs, there is a big difference between going 3-0 and 2-1. With a win, the Bucs are off to a serious start. Moving 2-1 makes you one game away from .500. The same goes for the Pack... 0-3 is devastating. 1-2 is only one game from .500.
The Packers need this game. The Bucs would like this game. That combination is the scary part.
My Heart: Bucs 24-3.
My Mind: Bucs 20-9
My Colon: Packers 17-14.
My Pick: Bucs 24-13...
On paper, the Bucs should win. They have a solid running game and a great defense. The Packers are weak on defense and their offense is struggling. The Bucs should win without much concern. But, that's only on paper. When it comes to actually playing the game, things could be vastly different. If the Bucs get complacent or just have a bad game with a lot of turnovers, then the Pack will win. If they play to their strengths and keep the mistakes to a minimum, the Bucs should win.
My Record: 2 - 0.

So that's your prediction...Bucs 24-13? How do the Packers score 13 against this defense? A weak offensive line that lost 2 via free agency. Don't see it happening if... (Isn't there always an 'if' with the Bucs. Result of being a long time Bucs fan.) ... they come out strong and keep the fans out of the game. Nothing pumps up a player than the fans screaming. If the Bucs score the first TD and eliminate turnovers, it's a sure win. Bucs 30-6 - Steve
