We will have an exciting matchup in NFL week 1 as the Buccaneers, and Tom Brady will travel to meet Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas on Sunday night.
This is expected to be one of the best games of the entire week, and it makes sense, considering that both of these teams have an opportunity to do something special throughout the season. Let’s check out Cowboys game stats.
Buccaneers Season Forecast
At the moment, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have Chris Godwin, Zyon McCollum, Russell Gage, and a few others on the injury report. This is another thing to think about in our Cowboys vs Buccaneers totals.
When we decide what we’re going to bet on for this game, it’s always best to look back at what some of these teams have done throughout the past few years.
One of the Best Teams
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been one of the best teams in all of football, and that’s something that we’re going to want to keep in mind.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers are once again going to be one of the best NFL teams in all the football, and it would be tough to say otherwise considering that Tom Brady is still wearing pewter.

The Dallas Cowboys are a team that we’re going to have to look out for this season. We’ve been saying this for the past few years with Dallas, but we truly never know what we’re going to get out of this team.
The Dallas Cowboys put Dak Prescott on the injury report, but it’s expected that he’s going to be playing in this game. Michael Gallup is also on the injury report and was a limited participant in the recent practice.

Most Profitable Players of this Matchup to Bet On
The first profitable player that we’re going to be looking at in this one is Tom Brady to have over 275.5 passing yards.
Although some people could be worried about this because it’s the first game of the season, when we factor in that he just threw for over 5,316 yards, which was the most in his NFL career at 44 years old, it seems likely that nothing is slowing down in Brady’s body.
The next best pick of this game is going to be taking CeDdee Lamb to have under 69.5 receiving yards. CeeDee lamb is the top guy on the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver corps and that’s something to look out for here.
He finished with over 1,000 yards a season ago. However, the Buccaneers are going to be all over him in this one. The next profitable player on this one is going to be taking Mike Evans to have over 65.5 yards.
We could be a factor in that Trevon Diggs likes to get risky at times and try to pick off passes that he has no business picking off, Mike Evans should be able to torch him a few times and that’s going to help us a ton in this matchup.
All Evans has to do is beat him once and he can have those 65.5 yards in one play.
