With the Cowboys coming in as a 2.5-point favorite, the public is backing Tampa Bay at a 53% rate. It's tough to argue against the public in this one because of the Cowboys' history.
However, one thing to remember here is that the public usually gets this stuff wrong. The public went just 1-4 in the first five games of the playoffs. Their lone win was the San Francisco 49ers covering the 9.5-point spread against the Seattle Seahawks.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Dallas Cowboys Total
Team | Points |
|---|---|
Cowboys | O 45.5 |
Buccaneers | U 45.5 |
The Cowboys vs. Buccaneers' total sits at a normal 45.5, which is understandable. Surprisingly, the public is a 50/50 split on the over/under in this one.
However, 55% of the handle is on the under tonight.
Top Prop Bets for Buccaneers vs. Cowboys
- Rachaad White under 35.5 rushing yards (-110) (Bet $100 to collect $191)
- Tom Brady over 0.5 rushing yards (+175) (Bet $100 to collect $275)
- Tom Brady over 277.5 passing yards (-110) (Bet $100 to collect $199)
- Dak Prescott over 0.5 interceptions (-165) (Bet $100 to collect $160)
- Tony Pollard over 11.5 rushing attempts (+105) (Bet $100 to collect $205)
The most bet prop for the Buccaneers vs. Cowboys is Rachaad White under 35.5 rushing yards. The public could have this one right as White hasn't hit this number in his last two games.
Brady to have over 0.5 rushing yards is interesting. I was about to run and bet this when I saw +175 odds but then I saw his stats. He has -1 rushing yards on the season on 29 attempts. He's gone over this number a few times, but also has multiple games with zero or negative rushing yards.
In terms of passing yards, 277.5 yards could be something to think about. This could go either way, however. If the Buccaneers get an early lead, they could start running the football. An early deficit and we might see Brady airing it out.
Prescott has thrown a brutal 15 interceptions this season and if the Cowboys are going to do the same thing they've done for the past 25 years, there's a good chance he throws another one.
Pollard hasn't had over 11.5 attempts in any of his last two games, but there's a chance he can get this tonight. If the Cowboys passing game struggles, we could see Pollard get more touches tonight.
