Earn the undying respect and admiration of your peers by correctly predicting the winner and final score of Thursday's World Bowl IV. Among those who predict the winning team, we will then add the total number of points by which you missed each team's score. Lowest total wins.

As commissioner, I would like to see Tampa Bay win. You are all aware of how much I love competitive balance, and four champions in four years would fit that philosophy. However, Detroit has won 25 in a row for good reason. Both coaches are good guys, so I would be happy for them in either case.

First prediction: Detroit 37, Tampa Bay 35

Tampa Bay 28 Detroit 24

DET - 40, TB - 34

Tampa Bay 31, Detroit 27
Also I think this might be the most competitive World Bowl game yet.

With an average score of 45-8 in the previous three World Bowls, that is a pretty safe thought.

Wheels 56- 40

Can I say Tampa by 1?

Everything about this game says offense slugfest...so I'm going lower -

Detroit 24 Tampa Bay 16

Tampa 37
Detroit 34 in OT

23-20 Tampa.
