Dallas Cowboys (-2-1/2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: I believe Dallas is the better team here but I have a hard time trusting quarterback Dak Prescott to not throw that key interception. In only 12 regular season starts he threw a career high 15 picks. Combine that with the fact the Bucs have a top ten pass defense, you have a situation where Prescott will have a rough go of it as he did in the season opener against Tampa. As such, the RB tandem of Ezekiel Elliot and Tony Pollard could make some hay against a pedestrian Tampa Bay run defense.
At 45-years old, Bucs QB Tom Brady had another 4,000+ yard passing season, yet it raised little more than an eyebrow. This season felt like Brady's final year with the New England Patriots in 2019 when his club won the division yet went one and done in the postseason. I firmly believe Brady will move on from Tampa after this year. Does he still have one more magical postseason run in him? I'd love to see it, but to say I'm skeptical is an understatement.
Dallas 20 Tampa Bay 17
