Over at NFL.com, Elliott Harrison is dealing in some supposedly bold predictions. Apparently, bold now means “the Bucs will make the playoffs”. I mean, I guess I’m happy with that prediction, but to call it ‘bold’ seems a bit much.
Now, “the Bucs will win the Super Bowl”, that would be bold. Or even “the Bucs will in the NFC South”—not as bold as usual, but certainly more than just “they’ll make the playoffs.”
OK, so the Bucs won nine games last year. That doesn't mean they'll duplicate the feat this year, especially with the out-of-division schedule they face: Giants, Patriots, Cardinals and Packers.
