On Site – Can Cowboys open season with win vs. Tom Brady’s Buccaneers?

In this Week 1 matchup, the Dallas Cowboys are home underdogs against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The first Sunday night game of the NFL season features QB Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers visiting the Dallas Cowboys. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC).

On Site host Tony Anderson is joined by USA TODAY’s Cowboys beat reporter Jori Epstein, who gives the scoop from inside the Dallas locker room.

The Cowboys and Buccaneers actually met in Week 1 a year ago, facing off in the NFL season opener on a Thursday night in Tampa.

Brady threw for 379 yards and 4 TDs, rallying the Bucs to a 31-29 victory, which was capped by Ryan Succop’s 36-yard field with 2 seconds remaining.

Just 1 minute, 22 seconds earlier, the Cowboys kicked a field goal for 29-28 lead.

Will Sunday night’s game feature the same type of fireworks? Anderson points out, “we won’t see Amari Cooper, Antonio Brown or Gronk, so I don’t like the Over, but I do like betting on …”

Listen to the video above to hear who Anderson likes.

FYI: Cooper is now with the Cleveland Browns (offseason trade with Dallas), Brown is unsigned, last playing in Week 16 before his famous walk-off-the-field incident with Tampa, and Rob Gronkowski retired following his 2nd season with the Bucs.

On Site – College football future bets: Who will win the championship this season?

Analyzing Tipico Sportsbook college football futures odds, USA TODAY’s Dan Wolken gives his favorite and a dark horse to win it all.

College football season is almost here. However, you don’t have to wait for it to start. You can place your wagers, including futures bets at Tipico Sportsbook right now.

A limited schedule kicks off the season Aug. 27 and will be followed by a full slate the next weekend, highlighted by the Ohio State Buckeyes hosting the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a prime-time showdown Saturday, Sept. 3. Earlier in the day, the Georgia Bulldogs and Oregon Ducks will hook up at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

On Site host Tony Anderson is joined by USA TODAY national sports columnist Dan Wolken, who tabs his favorite to win it all along with picking a dark horse.

Wolken’s favorite “has the best offensive player in the country … the best defensive player [and] the best transfer, possibly.”

Wolken’s dark horse, listed by Tipico Sportsbook at +8000, is “favored to win the Big 12 [and] bring back a ton on their offensive and defensive lines.”

Anderson adds a long shot of his own, a Pac-12 squad listed with +5000 odds “that can’t be overlooked.”

On Site – NFL future bets: Who will win Super Bowl 57, MVP and ROY?

We analyze Tipico Sportsbook NFL future odds on Super Bowl 57 and who will wiin the regular-season MVP and Rookie of the Year awards.

While the NFL’s regular season doesn’t start until Sept. 8 (Buffalo Bills at Los Angeles Rams), now is a great time to bet on NFL futures. Tipico Sportsbook is already accepting bets on Super Bowl winners, MVPs and more.

On Site host Tony Anderson is joined by BetFTW senior writer Prince J. Grimes to offer their best bets for who will win Super Bowl 57, the regular-season MVP and Rookies of the Year.

Along with suggesting a team that has odds of +600 to win the Super Bowl, Grimes likes an AFC quarterback “with outstanding value” to win the MVP and he tabs a New York Jets running back to claim the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

As for Defensive Rookie of the Year, Grimes predicts a New York Giants lineman to take home the award.

Anderson agrees with Grimes’ defensive rookie pick but differs in the other 3 categories. He likes a West Coast team with +1500 odds to raise the Lombardi Trophy – Feb. 12 in Glendale, Ariz. – a different AFC QB to win the MVP and an NFC receiver to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.
