Either way since I doubt TNL allows for real gambling I'll instead present you with TNL's Official Super Bowl Mock Gamble.
The rules are simple, cast your vote and if your team wins you get nothing but bragging rights.
I think the game will be closer than what a lot of people expect. The Raiders O is going up against the best defense in the NFL, statistically.
I heard the Bucs practices, during the week, were very intense while the Raiders practices were more laid back. Could it be that the Raiders are underestimating the Bucs? Could be.
Still, I gotta go with the Raiders to win this game.
Not really into the game more into the commercials.
doesn't really matter. afterwards, or towards the end of the game we're having a halo lan party. :)
This may come back to bite me in the ass, but here goes.
Oakland 34 Tampa Bay 20
Phew! :sweat: As long as Oakland covers, I'll be a happy man!
Tampa 21, Oakland 17.
Defense wins Championships, and Oakland hasn't had one since the 1970s.
I'm going to say Tampa Bay 20, Oakland 17...I think it's going to be a hell of a game. I'm expecting a D touchdown from the Bucs, and then I think their O could maybe come up with 1 TD and a couple of FGs.

Lyle Alzado (RIP) and Howie Long might have something to say about that. The Raiders had one of the best front defensive 4 in the 80's with Howie Long and Lyle Alzado providing a 1, 2 punch with both of these players providing a threat to quarterbacks and running backs alike. Unfortunately, the Raiders front 4 this season, is'nt going to put any pressure on Brad Johnson and he'll have a solid performance in route to a 30-24 victory over the Raiders.
Tampa Bay's offense is pretty solid this year and will surprise the weaker Raiders Defense. Meanwhile the secondary of the Tampa Bay Buc's will feed on Gannon's passing game, as the Raiders won't be able to run the ball against the Buc's defensive front. The Raiders will have a tough time of it the first half and will be playing catchup the second half, which I feel will be where they score most of thier points, because they'll be down 14 to 7 in the first half of the game.
Raiders - 28
Bucs - 21
Raiders go ahead for good late in the 4th quarter.
I expect Jerry Porter to have a big game today.
