This is the first week of the season with bye weeks on the schedule, but that doesn’t mean we can’t kick it off with a great game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys. Underdog is offering you a chance to enjoy $100 in bonus wagers when you bet $5 on tonight’s game using promo code FOXNEWS.
Seeing as though the two teams haven’t played that much football against each other over the years. They aren’t in the same division and have only seen each other 23 times total, including three postseason games. The series has been dominated by the Cowboys.
Over the 23 games, the Cowboys are 17-6, including winning the past two games. They’ve also won nine of the past 12 games. The most recent match between the two teams was a close match as Dallas won 26-24.
In that game, Dallas jumped out to a 10-point lead after one quarter. Then they scored another 13 in the second quarter, but Tampa put up 14 of their own to make it 23-14 at halftime. The second half was much less exciting as the Buccaneers got within three points, but that came far too late in the quarter and the game was essentially over at that point.
What is interesting about that last game between the two teams is that Cooper Rush was the quarterback for Dallas in that game. Baker Mayfield was in the game, but he will miss this one due to injury. Dak Prescott will get his time to play against a backup.
Sportsbooks seem to think this will be an easy win for the Cowboys, giving them an almost double-digit spread to cover. Choose a side, total, or prop for tonight’s game and wager $5 to earn a $10 bonus bet when using promo code FOXNEWS on Underdog. Repeat that process for the next ten days to earn the full $100 in bonus bets.
