The Tampa Bay Buccaneers own their destiny as they look to win a fifth straight game and go 5-1 Against The Spread.
Dallas has won three of its last four games, however, their post season hopes have been dashed as Philadelphia and Washington own the NFC East.
Sagarin suggests a number of 3.72 favoring Tampa Bay and that's right where we are at (Bucs -4 to -3.5).
It will be Baker Mayfield’s second game at AT&T Stadium — the other was a 49-38 victory with Cleveland in front of a pandemic-restricted crowd four years ago.
“There’s a lot of memories that I have,” said Mayfield, who won the Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma and played high school football in the Austin area. “I played a state championship game in high school there, Big 12 championship there. It’s close enough to Oklahoma that you always see a lot of Sooner jerseys in there. For me, it’s special.”
Mayfield lost twice in Houston, the first time as the rookie No. 1 overall pick when the Browns never were in serious playoff contention.
Tampa Bay is coming off a resounding 40-17 victory over the AFC playoff-contending Los Angeles Chargers.
“We didn’t listen when we were losing. We’re not listening now that we’re winning, so that’s not going to be a big deal,” coach Todd Bowles said. “We have enough sarcastic coaches and sarcastic players to insult people to keep everybody grounded so that we’re all ready to work, so that’s not a problem at all.”
