Tampa Bay big favorite over Dallas to open NFL season

Tom Brady 2021 preseason

The NFL season is finally here, and things are somewhat back to normal with fans heading back to stadiums and Tom Brady defending another Super Bowl championship.

Tonight’s opening game has the Dallas Cowboys visiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as heavy underdogs. The line has been bet up to Dallas plus 10 on BetUS.com as more money flows towards the defending champs.

Tampa brings back most of its roster, so many are bullish on their prospects. Meanwhile, Dallas has gone through more drama this spring with the Dak Prescott shoulder injury. Dak enters the game with no preseason reps and he hasn’t played since last season’s devastating ankle injury.

This is a tough one to pick for the first game of the season. It makes sense that the line has been bet up.

Consider placing bets for fun, but this one seems like a tough pick.

The Titans didn’t have to spend a #1 pick so in many ways it’s a solid trade. The have a great running game with Derrick Henry and Jones will certainly help to stretch the field and make it harder for defenses to cheat to stop the run.

But the key here is the health of Jones. Is hos foot still a problem? That will determine the success of this trade. But it’s a decent calculated risk by the Titans while Atlanta sheds payroll and starts to move on.
