Week 16 features a Sunday Night matchup that was originally projected to be a playoff coronation for the Dallas Cowboys. Instead, that will most likely be the case for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay will visit AT&T Stadium as a road favorite and the leader of the NFC South. By contrast, the Cowboys are hanging by a thread for the final NFC wild card spot. Dallas will have to win out and get a lot of help in the process. Jerry World has been turned upside down with poor roster construction and questionable coaching.
The Buccaneers and Cowboys Week 16 showdown is the NBC Sunday Night matchup.
Tampa Bay continues to provide excellent betting on pro football using crypto value in 2024. On the other hand, Dallas continues to be one of the worst values on the board.
On Sunday, December 22, 2024, the Dallas Cowboys will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. Kickoff time is set for 8:20 p.m. ET, and television coverage will be on NBC.
