Tampa Bay need to keep on winning to maintain their lead in the NFC South but will face no walkover when they travel to meet a Cowboys team beleaguered by injury but still putting in.
Best Bet
The Cowboys host the Bucs on Sunday Night Football and while the matchup has lost some of its lustre with the Cowboys beset by injury and well-and-truly out of the playoff race, this game is critical for Baker Mayfield and the Bucs.
While situationally the Bucs are probably the best, the top play in this one is the under.
The under is the natural starting point for Sunday Night Football games with the under hitting at 69% since 2022. The under is 11-4 this season.
Tampa Bay have gone under in six of their last seven Sunday Night Football games while Dallas are on a 16-7 under run on Sunday Night Football.
The under is 13-3 when the Bucs are favoured under Todd Bowles.
The last five games between these two have gone under the total.
Chips in the under.
Same Game Multi
Mike Evans has topped 100 receiving yards in two of his last three while he has seven touchdowns in his last eight.
Rico Dowdle has thrived as the Cowboys RB1, topping 110 yards in each of his last three.
Value Bet
Baker Mayfield is not the most naturally gifted athlete at QB but he is willing to run and it has resulted in three rushing touchdowns this year – and they have all come against aggressive pass rush teams. The Cowboys can blitz and with the Bucs needing to win, he looks a great bet to run a lot and potentially score.
