Last Meeting

The Bucs and Cowboys met earlier this season in week 1 on September 11. The Buccaneers won the game on the road 19-3 as 2.5 point favorites.

The Cowboys have won 7 of the last 10 meetings against the Buccaneers.

Trends

The over is 5-2 in Cowboys last 7 games overall. The over is 4-1 in Buccaneers last 5 games overall. The Cowboys are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 meetings. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings. The road team is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings.

Pick

The Dallas Cowboys are obviously the better team and should be favored, as the Bucs have been subpar at best all season and are only in the playoffs because of a lousy division. However, the Bucs are still at home and they have Tom Bray at quarterback. There's value to getting free points with a guy who has thrived in the postseason time and time again. Prescott has started in just 4 playoff games for his career, and he's been on the losing side in 3 of those games. I'll grab the points with the Buccaneers at home.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
