For today's show, Will Brinson brought on SportsLine gambling guru R.J. White. Here are several props they like for the game:Tom Brady OVER 2.5 pa sing touchdowns (+165). R.J.'s take: "The don't have the talent at cornerback to cover all of Brady's receiving options." longest reception OVER 24.5 yards (-120). This is a prop that Brinson likes and he likes it for the same reason R.J. likes his Brady prop above: He doesn't think the Cowboys secondary is going to be able to keep up with Evans. OVER 3.5 receptions (+110). Both Brinson and White liked this prop and that's mostly because they think that the Buccaneers defense is so good that it will force to dump off quite a few pa ses. OVER 5.5 receptions (+120). R.J.'s take, "Dak's going to throw a ton in this game and I think Lamb's target share is going to go up this year. He had between five and eight catches in each of the games that Dak played in last year."For more props and their actual prediction for today's game, so you can listen to today's episode and subscribe to the best daily NFL podcast out there.The 2021 NFL season kicks off tonight and based on what I've been reading about it so far, I'm not even sure they need to play the game because EVERYONE is picking the Buccaneers. With everyone on the Bucs' bandwagon, the point spread for this game has jumped from -6.5 to -8.5 in favor of the Buccaneers and most of that jump came in the past week (The opening spread came out in May and
Kyle Bird Jersey didn't move at all until August).One big reason that more people have been leaning Tampa Bay over the past week is because the Cowboys will be playing without .

My good buddy Jared Dubin put our deep-dive preview for , and here's how he sees the game playing out:Why the Cowboys can win: With Martin out, that's going to put more pre sure on Dak Prescott to get the pa sing game going early. If Dak can get , , and CeeDee Lamb all involved, the Cowboys could have a puncher's chance to steal the game away from the Buccaneers.Why the Buccaneers can win: The Buccaneers should have one of the best defenses in football this year and the Cowboys are going to have a tough time moving the ball on them. Dallas will be down a key offensive lineman and Dak Prescott will be taking his first game snap in 11 months, which makes this a situation where the Buccaneers defense is perfectly set up to feast.You can get a full preview of the game .Dubin's pick: Buccaneers 33-23 over Cowboys.My pick: Buccaneers 31-20 over Cowboys.If you'
Cole Hamels Jersey re thinking about betting on the game, Tyler Sullivan put together a full gambling preview. ONE PROP TYLER LIKES: Ezekiel Elliott OVER 20.5 receiving yards (-120): ONE PROP I LIKE: First scoring play: Buccaneers TD (+145): This is going to go one of two ways: If the Buccaneers get the ball first, I think they're going to drive straight down the field and score. If the Cowboys get the ball first, I think Tampa's defense is going to be so amp'd up that they'll easily force a punt and then the Bucs' offense will go straight down the field and score.You can check out Sullivan's .The 2021 NFL season hasn't even kicked off yet, but there are definitely already some coaches on the hot seat and one of them will be on the sideline tonight in Tampa and just so you know, we're not talking about Bruce Arians.With Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on the hot seat, we thought right now would be a good time to unveil our initial 2021 hot seat rankings, which was compiled by our Patrik Walker.1. coach David Culley2. coach Vic Fangio3. coach Matt Nagy4. coach Joe Judge5. coach Matt Rhule6.
