Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys Predictions & Picks

Dallas are tipped to cover as they take this Thursday matchup with Tampa Bay.

This Cowboys offense has been rolling despite the mixed record, and it can out-score a Tampa Bay team that is averaging just 19 points per game and is without Baker Mayfield.

And when it comes to the spread, the Bucs have now failed to cover in 13 straight outings.
  • Dallas Cowboys are 3-0-0 ATS in their last 3 games
  • Dallas Cowboys are 1-0 at AT&T Stadium this season
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 0-4-0 ATS in their 4 defeats
  • The Over has cashed in all 4 of Dallas’ games so far

Head To Head

  • Dallas Cowboys lead the all-time series 17-6
  • Dallas Cowboys won 26-24 when the two teams last met in December 2024

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Form

Tampa Bay go into this Thursday night matchup without quarterback Baker Mayfield, and having lost their first four games of the season.

The Buccaneers kicked off the campaign in Cincinnati and saw the defense get lit up by Joe Burrow & Co. in a 33-27 defeat.

Things did not get any better in the home opener as they suffered a surprise 23-19 defeat at the hands of Cleveland.

That became back-to-back home losses for Tampa Bay as they were beaten 23-16 by Minnesota at Raymond James Stadium.

The Buccaneers then fell to 0-4 last weekend, as they suffered yet another home defeat, falling 17-14 to Green Bay.

Dallas Cowboys Form

Dallas enter this matchup on the back of a victory, but having gone 2-2 so far this season while failing to string together wins.

The Cowboys opened with a visit to division rivals New York, and they suffered a shock 28-20 defeat at the hands of the Giants.

They rebounded a week later though, as they marked their home opener with 37-20 victory over another division rival, Washington.

Dallas failed to follow up on that victory as they travelled to Brazil for a 34-31 defeat to Baltimore.

However, the Cowboys quickly put that loss behind them, as they won state bragging rights with a 34-30 success at Houston.

Verdict

Consistency has eluded Dallas so far, but this is a great opportunity for them to string together wins.

The Cowboys can make a dent in this tough Tampa defense, while its own defense shuts down a struggling Bucs offense that is missing it’s starting QB.
