NFC Playbook in NFLN has a quick Sound FX clip in Cam.

Picks:

Sharpe: Panthers- believe in D and 59

Baldy: Bucs

McNabb: Bucs

Well I expect that out of Mcnabb still sore about the 03' playoffs.

the whole "diving into his ribs" thing probably doesn't sit too well with him.

Bermans never on there. He does his picks on ESPN Sportscenter and on the ESPN Kickoff which was on a little while ago.

I know that was a double meaning lol. I hate Mcnabb.

[iamhubby1]

A lot more for than against us. I like that.

I also like being the upset pick. That means we are getting some love for being favored, or some bux bandwagoners hoping for the miracle.

Bux only going to win a few games, everyone one of them will be precious. I do not want to make their precious season by losing to them at all.

They are the Lions of two years ago. Or us from lastl. They have a chance, but it is pretty slim at best. So sorry, Not.

Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Panthers 24, Buccaneers 13

OVERALL ANALYSIS

The Buccaneers and Panthers get right into division play with different expectations. For Carolina, it is looking to move forward behind Newton, who took the league by surprise a season ago. That won't be the case in 2012, with teams better prepared to handle his skill set. Tampa Bay, though, isn't one of the candidates to slow down the reigning Rookie of the Year as it tries to find its blue-collar identity under Schiano. Carolina should have little issues with moving the ball -- especially on the ground -- against a Tampa Bay team that did not add an impact defensive player outside of the draft this offseason.

I for one am glad some of the talking heads are picking against us. It seems as though when they are all picking us thats when we poo the bed. I hope we can fly under the radar all season...

[Cape Fear Cat]

So what if the Bucs have improved? We took the Packers to the wire, and a bunch of others too. Tampa may have added some parts, but what they added didn't raise them to the level of the guys we were dancing with last year. My money is still on the Panthers. Go 'Cats!

[Sapper]

19? So a TD and 4 Medlock FGs?

[pilot2011]

these "experts" don't know jack. I would be willing to bet the only work these fools do is reading and updating their twitter accounts...The only real, true football expert that I'm willing to listen to is Jon Gruden.

[NanceUSMC]

Let's face it, the only prediction that REALLY matters is the one that Prisco makes...

Then take the opposite of it...

[natty]

With all the matchups in week 1 I think we are the easy upset pick. There are maybe 2 or 3 interesting games but all the rest are kind of no brainers.

yep and he called us a 3 win team this year.
