My Prediction
Tampa Bay Buccaneers by 7Oh, strap in, sports enthusiasts. We've got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sailing into Dallas to face down the Cowboys.
Now, the Buccaneers surely remember the spanking they received last time they duked it out with the Cowboys, a 31 to 14 embarrassment. However, when it comes to the regular season records, the Buccaneers emerge with an 8-6 record compared to the Cowboys' less-than-stellar 6-8.
In recent encounters, the Bucs have been surging like a runaway freight train. Their last five games? Four victories, a convincing win over Los Angeles at the high point, and just one minor slipup against San Francisco. The ride's been bumpier for the Cowboys; sandwiched between some solid wins, we see a gutsy fight but ultimate loss to Cincinnati and a heartbreaking walloping by Houston.
Looking at the standings, the Buccaneers are riding high at #1 in the NFC South, while the Cowboys are ambling along at #3 in the NFC East.
At the helm for the Buccaneers, we have Baker Mayfield who has managed a reasonable 105.4 passing efficiency, accompanied by 8 TDs and 5 INTs. On the opposite field, under center for the Cowboys we have Cooper Rush, boasting a slightly lower passing efficiency but less INTs.
Let's throw some offensive stars into this wrestling match, shall we? For Tampa Bay, we can't ignore the contributions of Bucky Irving and Mike Evans in the last month, seeing collectively over 800 total yards and 5 TDs. On the Cowboy's side, we have Rico Dowdle and CeeDee Lamb putting up similar numbers.
Defensively, for the Buccaneers, we have the likes of Lavonte David, notching 32 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Cowboys, on the other hand, have Eric Kendricks who outshines David with 46 tackles, 1 sack, and an interception to boot.
So, where does that leave us? Well, judging by these hefty stacks of player cards and a wealth of numbers that would stump even the savviest accountant, my prediction for this colossal clash is…
