Huddle prediction: who will win and why....

[Jmac]

On this Labor day and the premier of "Houdini"on History channel tonight. let's see what kind of magicians and soothsayers we have here in the Huddle. Most on here know this team very well...it's strengths and its weakness on both sides of the ball. Playing a retooled Bucs away won't be easy. What will the final score be...and give a comment on how YOU think the offense and defense will do. This team has not won an opening season game in many moons.....can they do it in 2014?

[JawnyBlaze]

We will win because we have a better coach and better players at every position except Safety and one of the Guards (probably, not going to anoint Turner or Amini over old man Mankins yet).  I think the offense will start off slow, one TD in the first half due to a short field and we'll all have our panties in a twist and then they'll open it up and play well in the second half.  The defense will dominate from the kickoff allowing one field goal in the first half and a garbage time TD.  Final score: 24-10.

 

edit to add score.

17-14 including a pick 6 from Melvin White

[Ruff]

The Bucs DLine is very, very good. Our offensive line is very, very suspect.

[Lumps]

I see a loss due to an offense that isn't clicking right away, injuries, dwill taking his usual 3-4 games to get started, stew getting injured, and history. I see the defense still doing well and not allowing more than 21 points of not less so I don't think it will be a blowout. At the end of the day I feel special teams and a bad online is going to be the blame for the loss.

we'll squeek one out due to the on-the-job training so to speak that the offense will be going thru

 

23-17

[PhillyB]

i think we'll come out on top, but it'll be dolphins level ugly

[JJman]

I think we win, but a loss would not surprise me seeing as how we play early in the season.

[The Huddler]

lol labor day my ass

School And work today

We Win by 10

[PantherWake]

We win. The Bucs lately seem to have to have great offseasons that lead to average/below-average regular seasons.

[Rules&Regulations]

I hope we win, but we suck in openers and against new HCs. Uh, 14-10 us?

[Carolinaboy1979]

I don't think we let them score at all....and I think it'll take a little bit to get our offense going. 10-0 Panthers
