If you’re looking to bet on the Cowboys-Bucs, you’d better see what SportsLine Senior Analyst Larry Hartstein thinks about the showdown. On top of going into the 2022 NFL season 427-344 all-time in NFL draft picks (plus $3,764 for $100 players), Hartstein is 15-3 (+1,170) in his last 18 draft picks involving the Cowboys, meaning he’s uniquely eligible. To do that. This check. We can tell you he leans more on the total, but let’s see his pick against the spread You have to go to SportsLine.
The Cowboys usually wait until the postseason breaks up, but this year, it looks like they started things a little early. Dallas has lost two of their last four regular season games and a big reason this happened is because Duck Prescott He seems to have forgotten how to play football.
Since coming back from his right thumb injury in Week 7, Prescott hasn’t been the same quarterback and although you’d think he’d slowly get better each week, that wasn’t the case. He threw 11 interceptions, which is more than any other QB in the league American football during that period.
With those 11 interceptions, Prescott finished tied for the NFL lead with 15 picks on the season, which I only point to because it makes him the first QB in NFL history to miss at least five games and still lead the league in interceptions that exists. With “who can eat the most tubs of butter in 90 seconds” on the list of records you don’t ever want to break.
“Basically, on one side of this game, you have a quarterback who can’t stop throwing interceptions and on the other side, you have the most successful quarterback in the NFL ever: Tom Brady. If Brady could have picked his opponent in a wild card round, I believe he would have chosen the Cowboys and that’s mainly because if there was one team the Bucs would be so confident in hitting, it’s Dallas. for one, hacker He has already won against the Cowboys this season, and two, Brady has never lost to a COWBOYS in his career (7-0).
Also, this game is being played in Tampa Bay, which is notable, because they have a grass court in Tampa and Dallas tend to struggle on grass for some reason. The Cowboys have played five games on grass this season and they’ve gone 1-4 in those games losing to the EaglesAnd leadersand jaguar f PackersTheir only win came against A.J titans The team that had to start quarterback (Josh Dobbs) who had only been on the roster for nine days. Even then, the Cowboys still had trouble holding Tennessee down (the game was 17-13 going into the fourth quarter). From a defensive standpoint, the Cowboys surrendered an average of 27.2 points in their five games played on the grass. In 12 games not played on grass, the Cowboys have surrendered just 17.1 points per game, which is a whopping 10.1 points.
“On paper, this game looks like a mismatch, but Tom Brady doesn’t believe in paper so I’m going to ignore the talent disparity and go with the team I trust the most now which is the Buccaneers.” — CBS Sports NFL writer John Breech on why he likes the Bucs to upset the Cowboys, 20-17.
