NFL Week 1 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Buccaneers vs. Cowboys

Tom Brady was the talk of the offseason, with a brief retirement and atypical absence, but it is the question marks on the offensive line as well as the pass-catching group that is worrisome. Losses due to injury and retirement, as well as questions about how focused Brady is after his tumultuous summer, point to Tampa taking a step back offensively in 2022.

Dallas comes into this matchup with questions of their own. There is no doubt Dak Prescott is the capable leader of the offense, but the losses of Amari Cooper and Tyron Smith will be tough to overcome. The Cowboys posted a top two DVOA defense in 2021, but turnover regression is likely to come. Overall, Dallas has the weapons offensively to outpace Tampa in what could end up being a matchup between teams that are coming into the season a bit overrated.
