Mike Spector's pick: Buccaneers +8.5
NFL teams getting the majority of the bets this season have gone 2-10 ATS in primetime. So far, the Cowboys are getting a whopping 69% of early wagers, yet the line has dropped from -9.5 to -8.5 at most top sports betting sites. That suggests sharp action is backing Tampa Bay even though the Buccaneers are amid the longest ATS skid (0-13) in the Super Bowl era (including a 0-5 ATS mark as an underdog).

LJ Blut's pick: CeeDee Lamb anytime touchdown scorer
CeeDee Lamb is in an excellent spot to find the end zone against the Buccaneers. Dallas continues to lean heavily on Lamb in the passing game, giving him plenty of opportunities to make plays in scoring territory. His elite route-running, quickness, and ability to create separation make him a difficult matchup for Tampa Bay’s secondary.

Brenden Schaeffer's pick: Jalon Daniels Over 44.5 rushing yards
In his first NFL start last week, Daniels logged eight carries for 55 yards. The Cowboys are a plus matchup for his rushing output. Dallas has permitted more rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks than any other team, surrendering 47.0 yards per game.
