Total: 47.00 | -105.00 Over
Result: Win
The set-up: The 8-5 Tampa Bay Bucs are in Dallas on Sunday night to take on the 11-2 Cowboys, who saw their 11-game winning streak finally end last Sunday in a 10-7 loss to the Giants. The Bucs come in on a five-game winning streak, after last Sunday's 16-11 home win over the Saints. It marks Tampa Bay's longest unbeaten run since 2002.
Tampa Bay: The Bucs have been thrilled with the overall play of Jameis Winston since taking him with the No. 1 pick of the 2015 draft but the offense has struggled some under Winston during the winning streak, scoring just six TDs in the last four games. Winston has thrown for 3,364 yards through 13 games and owns a 23-12 ratio. However, he failed to pass for or run for a TD vs. the Saints, ending his streak of 28 straight games with at least one rushing or passing TD to begin his career! However, the Bucs defense bailed the offense out, holding Brees without a TD pass (picked him off three times!) and the New Orleans' offense to just 294 total yards on 14 FDs. The Bucs have given up a league-low 12.8 PPG since Week 10 and the six total TDs scored by opponents are tied for the fewest during that span.
Dallas: Rookie QB Dak Prescott is 11-2 as a starter, he's thrown for 20 TDs with only four INTs and his team has the best record in the NFC and is tied with the New England Patriots for the NFL's top mark. However, he threw as many INTs in last week's 10-7 los at the Giants (two), as he had in the season's first 12 games. He completed just 17 of 37 passes for 165 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions against the Giants and over Dallas' last two games, the Cowboys have been successful on just 2 of 24 third-down conversions, while scoring just 24 points. Prescott has failed to reach 200 yards passing in each of his last three games. So, is it "Tony Romo time" yet? Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones keeps opening the door to a QB controversy on his team, but no one else seems to be biting. Surely not head coach Jason Garrett. "You can make it as simple or as complex as you want to make it," Garrett told reporters at his weekly press conference. "It's pretty simple for us: Dak's going to play quarterback as we go forward."
The pick: This game has been ‘flexed' to a Sunday night start, the second straight for the Cowboys and easily the biggest spotlight Tampa Bay has played under in quite awhile. Tampa Bay is tied with the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South but is staring at a tough close to the regular season with a trip to New Orleans and a home game against the "what have we got to lose" Carolina Panthers after the visit to Dallas. I noted above just how well the Tampa Bay defense has played lately plus the Dallas D comes in allowing 18.3 PPG (5th) on the season. Two young QBs take the field in this "big game" in "Big D." The Under is a 10* play.
