Welcome to Sunday Night Football
Sunday Night Football is back this week to let us watch the Tampa Bay Buccaneers try to hold on to a playoff berth against the Dallas Cowboys. All Sunday Night Football games kick off at 8:20 ET on NBC.
As always in our brave new world of expansive sports gambling, it is now easier to bet on games than to watch them. You can catch current odds on all NFL games for Week 16 here on FanDuel.
The 8-6 Bucs hold a narrow lead in the NFC South over the 7-7 Atlanta Falcons. The 7-7 Cowboys are more than likely out of contention for any wildcard berths and are riding high on their defeat of a bad Carolina Panthers squad last week.
The Bucs need to hold onto their lead over the Falcons as they dropped both games to them in their 2024 series. Tie breakers are not in Tampa Bay’s favor, so that’s plenty of motivation for Baker Mayfield and company to push through a Dallas team that no playoff caliber team should have trouble beating.
Sometimes it is as simple as that, and that’s why I’m picking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win tonight.
As always, use this space to talk about the action as it unfolds.
You know the drill.
This is now an open thread!
