Yes, it's a really big mount that looks like a bowl and you can add 10X the weapons!

I figure Oakland is going to win it, but I would like to see Tampa Bay do it.

The Raiders will win, because their passing game and their talented receivers will beat Tampa Bay's two deep zone. The Bucs will have to counter by coming at the Raiders with more blitzes to overcome the Raiders' excellent offensive line, which will make them vulnerable to screen passes to Charlie Garner, trap plays, and such. On the other side of the ball, the Bucs don't have much that the Raiders defense can't handle. They ran 32 times for just 49 yards against the Eagles, which makes their victory in that game pretty remarkable. They'll be lucky to score 17 points against the Raiders. Final score: 27-13 Raiders.

One addage that has survived many many years of testing is this:

Defense wins championships.

I voted for Tampa Bay. We will see..

Best of all, Poetic justice will be served if John Gruden can beat his former owner's team.

P.S.

I hate the Raiders.

Sorry, Raider fans, I just had to get that out of my system.

May the best team win!

29-27 Tampa Bay wins. Mark my words.

After the game, you will return to my post in awe, at the fact that I have predicted the score exactly .

(Even if I have to use the edit button).

Who will win the Super Bowl? Easy: ABC!

Slight edge goes to the Raiders, for three reasons:
1. The old guys know this is probably their Last, best shot at the ring, and thus will want it more.
2. So much media attention will be directed toward Jon Gruden that Raiders coach Bill Callahan will be able to keep focus much more easily.
3. They're still PO'ed about the Tuck Rule game from Last year.

I still say my Giants got robbed.

Stupid officials. although them blowing a huge lead in the 4th didnt help. you notice that the refs are very careful now. I actually heard one call introduced with the phrase "According to the rules of the NFL" Anyway, i think its going to be close, but the bucs will end up on top.
