The Cowboys come into this one as a +8 underdog at BetUS.  The spread had been +7.5.  An outright win pays $305 on a $100 bet on the moneyline (the moneyline is -365 on Tampa).  The total was coming in at 52.

Scott Kellen observes that Tampa Bay has one of the best defenses in the league. 

"Dallas on the other side of that equation," he noted.  "We will see how much they improve.  They draft a linebacker Micah Parsons, who has had pretty good reviews this year.  We'll see how he and other people can help change that defense."

He adds that "from a defensive standpoint" the Bucs are far and away better than Dallas.

Zach Martin will likely be out for this game due to Covid.  He is one of the key guards for Dallas.

Las Vegas Cris chimed in with his pick on this game.  Let's check out their expert picks and predictions below.
