Thread: Vikings Vs. Bucs Predictions

Im predicting an average game from Peterson.. The Bucs D is quick and wraps you up fast 97 yards and a 2 yard TD run from Peterson

The Bucs get some a good ammount of turnovers and Gus Frerotte gives them away like it's Christmas.. I predict 3 picks for the Bucs which will lead to 10 points

Gus will throw 1 TD

Jeff will throw 2

And Graham will get 1

Tack on a field goal they get 24

I think the Vikes will get get 17

The Bucs have a very simular D to us but give up less points and are at home.. Thier offense is a top 10 and ours is 13th I believe

So final score 24-17 Bucs cuz it's on their field

Any predictions for you?

Oh and the TD from Gus will go to Shank

Berrian will have 2 catches for 37 yards

Rice will have 1 for 13 yards

Wade with 1 for 7

Jared Allen pressure all day but no sacks

Ray Edwards and k-will split the only sack

1 pick for Madieu Williams

Napo Harris leading tackler with 7 total tackles

I think we can stop Earnest and Garcia. The question is can Gus limit his mistakes? If he can we win.

Yup we are pretty simular across the board

Gus will be the difference maker

If he can manage to only throw 1 pick I think we have a shot

It is going to be a tough game for the vikings. The bucs are 4-0 at home and in those games have outscored their opponents 101 to 43 and have beat all 4 by atleast 2 scores.
Their 3 losses have come against pass happy teams(Saints, Broncos, Cowboys)all in the top 10 in passing yards. There rushing defense is ranked 11th in yards per game but have only allowed 1 rushing Td all year.
I think the best chance the vikings have is if they can win the turnover battle, which they have not done much this year.
This isn't a must win, but they do need to win atleast 1 of the two in florida so if they lose this game they have to beat the Jags.

It was only a few weeks ago that I thought the second best team in the NFC was the Bucs but then I watched them against the Cowboys... The bucs are not a great team and we matchup well against them.
They shouldn't be able to run against us and our secondary has done much better recently.
I expect Jared Allen to get at least one sack and we will pressure Garcia the whole time.

Garcia LOVES to throw down the middle.
WE need to take the middle away from him. Watching this game, he avoided pressure and threw straight up the middle around 90% of the time... Seriously.
The coaches better see this and try to shut it down.
He also likes to throw to his backs, hopefullly Greenway / Leber / whoever covers them does a decent job.

We should be able to win this game... I think our defense can shut them down pretty dang well and cause a few turnovers... Dunno why I keep putting three periods at the end of sentences lol.

Green bay has the 3rd best pass-D... Tampa has the 5th best...

Ferrotte will struggle, the sooner you accept that, the better... but it's still better than Jackson.

21-10 vikes...AD scores 2 and def get's the other.
