The first NFL Sunday of the season comes to a close when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the Dallas Cowboys under the prime-time lights.
The Bucs have had a bumpy summer, with the in-and-out status of Tom Brady and a slew of injuries to the crew tasked with keeping the veteran QB clean. On top of those ailments to the O-line, receiver Chris Godwin is a game-time decision for the season opener.
In the same vein, Dallas also lost bodies on the offensive line this summer and the Cowboys are thin at wide receiver, leaving this offense to lean heavily on the run game against one of the best run-stopping units in the land.
It all makes for a tough game to tackle on Sunday Night Football. I break down the point spread, Over/Under total, and give my best NFL picks and predictions for Buccaneers at Cowboys.
