Fuck (most) Raider fans

Wow, I must be the only person that thinks the Bucs will win. I called them to win the Super Bowl 2 months ago, I'm sticking to it. It will be close, whatever the score is.

Bucs 27, Raiders 23.

What are the odds anyhow? I'm assuming the Bucs are the underdog, but not by much.
 
I'm picking the Raiders to win not simply because they're my favorite team, but also because they're the better team. All you haters only make Raider Nation stronger.

BTW, in many places, the Raiders are already up to a 4 or even 4 1/2 point favorite.
 
my prediction is Raiders 12 Bucs 9
I think it's gonna be a defense game because Tampa has the best and one of the worst attacks,but if they play against Raiders like they played Philadelphia and raiders plays the first half like they did with the Titans then the bucs are gonna wipe the floor with Gannon

Although I'm not a huge follower of Serie A, I'd much rather Juve won it. ;)
 
Raiders offense vs. Buccaneers defense: close to a wash, but NO ONE has stopped Oakland yet, and Tampa plays a Cover 2, which, if you follow football at all, is a very bad idea against Oakland. Edge: Oakland.

Buccaneers offense vs. Raiders defense: also fairly close, but again, no one really gives the Raiders defense any credit. They finished around 13th overall, but primarily because so many teams were piling up garbage points & yards late after Oakland had built large leads. Little known fact: Oakland's run defense allowed 96 ypg, while Tampa's allowed over 105 per game. Yes, Oakland had a higher-ranked run defense than Tampa. If the Raiders keep their penalties in check (big if, I'm aware), this game could get ugle. Edge: Oakland.

:) Trying to get this topic back on Oakland.
 
If the Bucs keep the score close in the first half, they've got a chance, especially with the Raiders' propensity for 100+ yards in penalties per game (or something like that). I lived in Tampa as a kid so I've gotta be loyal and go for the Bucs.

Val: everyone knows that FC Bayern Muenchen is the premier eurofootball team!

No doubt liz, the score will most likely be close throughout the game, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Raiders have to come from behind to win.

But they will win. The Raiders that is. ;)
 
I've been a Raiders fan since I was 4, and I live in Pittsburgh.

I finally overcame my curse this season. In the beginning of the 2000-2001 season, I predicted Minnisota .vs. Oakland in the Super Bowl, both teams made it to the championships and lost.

In the start of the 2001-2002 season I predicted Philadalphia .vs. Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl. Both teams made it to their championships and lost.

This season, I predicted Oakland .vs. Tampon Bay, and the winner is me!! Yay!

Now, I hope to Jebus Oakland wins, just so I can see NFL officials cringe again as they hand Al Davis the trophy, and as he says he'll run a victory parade through Los Angelas.

Anyone know off hand where I can find a picture of Pete Rozelle giving Al Davis the trophy after Super Bowl XVIII?
 
Tho I am a BUcs fan I have to say that I think Raiders will win
why? because of Gannon,Romanowski,Rice,Garner and specially their coach(whose name I forgot right now)
but it's gonna be a difficult game this time,because the last superbowl sucked big time,the wild card kicking ass everywhere? come on...
I just hope the Bucs defense makes the first 2 quarters interesting and that they manage to run the ball like they did against the eagles
my prediction is still Raiders 12 Bucs 9
