Dallas Cowboys vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Over 47.5 Total Points (-110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers both have strong offenses that can score points quickly. Dallas has shown they can move the ball effectively, getting first downs more often than Tampa Bay. Plus, both teams allowed a fair amount of yards last season, meaning they can give up points as well.
Betting on over 47.5 total points feels solid here. Our numbers give this a good chance since they suggest a combined score of about 51.5. Just keep in mind, the Buccaneers struggle a bit on grass, which could slow them down. But overall, with both teams capable of scoring, this could turn into a high-scoring game.
Dallas Cowboys vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Over 28.5 Team Total Points (-108)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Dallas Cowboys have been pretty strong at scoring, making them a good bet to put up points. They moved the chains more than 20 times a game last season, which shows they can keep drives alive. The Cowboys also gave up a decent amount of yards, which could mean the Buccaneers might find ways to score as well.
The Buccaneers have struggled on grass, and their defense allowed almost 354 yards a game last season, indicating they might have trouble stopping the Cowboys. With the way both teams have been playing, expecting the Cowboys to score over 28.5 points feels promising. Just remember, the Buccaneers could surprise us, but the odds look good for the Cowboys to find the end zone.
Dallas Cowboys vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Dallas Cowboys -9.5 Point Spread (-105)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Dallas Cowboys need to win by ten points or more against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tonight. The Cowboys have shown they can move the ball well, making nearly 21 first downs a game last season. While their defense gave up a lot of yards, the Buccaneers' offense struggled to reach the red zone often, only getting there about three times a game.
The Cowboys have a solid home advantage, and their scoring potential looks good here. However, the game is rated close to a coin flip, so it might be tighter than expected. If the Buccaneers can find a way to limit the Cowboys' big plays, it could make things interesting.
Dallas Cowboys vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jake Ferguson Over 29.5 Receiving Yards (Alt) (+110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The odds are offering a solid chance for Jake Ferguson to get over 29.5 receiving yards, and our numbers see this matchup as pretty even. The Dallas Cowboys have had a tough time defensively, giving up around 391 yards a game last season. With the Buccaneers also allowing decent yardage, it looks good for Ferguson to find some space to rack up those yards.
Ferguson has a real shot at this, but the risk is that both teams are giving up similar yardage, making it tough to predict who will shine. Still, with the Cowboys moving the chains more often and Ferguson being a key player, there's a strong feeling he can get to those 30 yards.
Dallas Cowboys vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Kenny Gainwell Under 9.5 Receiving Yards (-111)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Kenny Gainwell faces a tough task against the Dallas Cowboys' defense, which allowed a lot of yardage last season. However, they've shown they can limit passing plays, especially since they gave up fewer yards through the air compared to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With the Cowboys not allowing many first downs and Gainwell being more of a support player, he might struggle to reach 10 receiving yards.
The risk here is that Gainwell could catch a couple of short passes, but with the way both defenses performed, it feels like he'll be kept under wraps. Betting on him to have under 9.5 receiving yards seems like a solid choice given the matchup.
Dallas Cowboys vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Cade Otton Over 3.5 Receptions (Alt) (+112)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Cade Otton has been showing some solid form lately, and he's a key target for the Buccaneers. With Tampa Bay's offense struggling to move the chains as much as they'd like, they'll likely rely on him to help keep drives alive. The Cowboys have had some trouble stopping the pass, allowing over 260 yards through the air each game, which could open up opportunities for Otton to make some catches.
This bet is for over 3.5 receptions, and the numbers suggest a good chance for that to happen. One risk to think about is that both teams are relatively close in performance, so it might come down to who can execute better on the day. Still, Otton's role could be crucial, especially if the game gets tight.
That is the full board for this game. Prices can move before you get on, so check the board at your bookmaker. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
