The Dallas Cowboys visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the regular-season opener Thursday. Kickoff at Raymond James Stadium is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Cowboys at Buccaneers odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.
The big question for the Cowboys heading into the 2021 regular season is how healthy QB Dak Prescott is after a gruesome lower-leg injury ended his 2020 campaign prematurely. The Dallas offense could be quite prolific if he is back to his pre-injury form. Dallas finished the pre-season 0-4 SU/ATS with a 1-3 O/U mark.
The defending Super Bowl champion Buccaneers have all 11 starters back on offense. Tampa Bay was the league’s second-best passing team with 289.1 yards per game in 2020 and they were seventh in total offense with 384.1 yards per game. The Bucs finished the pre-season 1-2 SU/ATS and with a 2-1 O/U mark.
