Sunday Night Football has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traveling to North Texas this week to take on the Dallas Cowboys. Tampa enters week 16 in first place in their division, the NFC South. The Buccaneers are also on a four-game win streak, including a solid victory over the Los Angeles Chargers last weekend, 40 to 17. Dallas has struggled more than most expected this season, even before losing their starting quarterback, Dak Prescot, for the season. Despite their early season struggles, the Cowboys have now managed to win three out of their last four games, including last week’s win over the Carolina Panthers, 30 to 14.

- TV Broadcast: NBC
- FANDUEL Sportsbook betting Odds: Buccaneers -3.5; Point total: 47.5; Moneyline: Buccaneers -210 | Cowboys +176
—My Pick: The Buccaneers will cover. While the Cowboys have won three of their last four, two of those wins were over poor teams, and one was over a divisional rival. Dallas has struggled against nearly all of the good teams they have played this season. On the other hand, the Bucs are coming off a solid victory over a good team, the Chargers. The Bucs seem to be finding their stride as the season nears its end, while the Cowboys, despite winning three out of their last four games, are wounded and limping at this point. I expect Tampa Bay to both win this game outright and cover the spread this evening.
