Week 12, 2010: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Baltimore Ravens
Nov 26th
Week 12 has rolled around and a new set of fixtures are there to be predicted! So let’s do what we do best, well… what we do kind of well, and that’s take a look at a game a piece in slightly more detail that just saying ‘Detroit win’. This week I’ve landed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are playing at the M & T Bank Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens.

NFL 2010 Week 6 Guest Predictions
Oct 13th
Hi, I’m Chris and I’m a Dallas Cowboys fan (don’t boo!). I first started watching American Football at about 6 years old when Channel Four here in the UK used to air an early morning highlight show at the weekends. At the time the Cowboys were just putting together the roster that would go on to pick up three Super Bowl rings in four seasons. I quickly got hooked watching Emmit Smith avoiding tacklers and moving through holes in defences created by Moose Johnston while being amazed at the almost telepathic connection Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin seemed to have. I still continue to follow the Cowboys despite numerous let-downs and a constant barrage of abuse I get from all my Dallas-hating friends!
I’m taking a look at all the NFL games this week and making my predictions on each one.
Game Predictions
Miami Dolphins @ Green Bay Packers
Usually, I’d pick the Packers straight away for this one but, with doubts surrounding Clay Matthews, Jermichael Finley and Aaron Rodgers, I’m not so sure. Losing Ryan Grant has made the Packers offense one-dimensional and having the two key men in the passing game banged up will further hurt their chances, while the defense looked lost against Washington after their sack-machine Matthews departed. Miami’s main concern will be the performance of their special teams after they were destroyed by the Patriots in Week Four, but a new special teams coach and a bye-week to work on their problems could have sorted them out. Clay Matthews playing will be the key to whether Green Bay win or lose this one.
Prediction: Green Bay

Week 3, 2010: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sep 23rd
As with all of the NFL teams that have played at Wembley Stadium here in the UK, and certainly the ‘home’ teams, I feel a certain affinity for the Tampa Bay Buccanners. Though they were well and truly out-classed in the International Series last season, we still appreciated them coming and giving it a go.
This week they host the Pittsburgh Steelers, in a battle of two team that are currently undefeated in the 2010 season.

First Look 2010… NFC South
Jun 10th
The run that the Saints went on took us by surprise. Indeed, from the pre- and off-season Graham and I both fancied the Panthers to be the err, big dogs of the division. As it happened, they were pussycats and the Saints went marching on and it’s now history. But enough of me murdering metaphors…
This NFC South has been particularly well balanced in recent years, with all four teams making the post season and each team has made the championship game and all but the Falcons made the Super Bowl since 2002. That could make things hard, but could make them fun too!
So let’s take a look…

Leftwich edges out McCown in Tampa Bay
Aug 30th
All these questions about the starting QBs are being settled as pre-season looks to wrap up and the teams look to bed in and make solid plans for the season.
After San Francisco a few days ago, and the Jets, it’s the Buccaneers turn. As they’re London-bound in October, we’d been watching closely.
