The regular season kicks off with a highly-anticipated NFC clash featuring the reigning & defending Super Bowl champions! On the first Thursday Night Football of the new season, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Dallas Cowboys at the Raymond James Stadium. We’re going to take a look at everything you need to know about the two franchises.

When it comes to pre-season, it’s always sensible to take the results with a pinch of salt, with most of the teams in the league rotating heavily throughout the game. However, one big positive to the Cowboys’ off-season was the fact that Dak Prescott stayed in Dallas, extending his contract. Now, the offense also has a fit Ezekiel Elliott for their run game, and will look to use that to their advantage. After also strengthening their defense in the draft, including first-round linebacker Micah Parsons, the Cowboys will certainly test themselves in their opening game.

The Super Bowl champions are at home for their first game of the regular season, and will set to continue as they left off from last year. With a convincing playoff run, capped off with a 31-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Buccaneers will definitely be wanting more of the same this season. Tom Brady stayed for what could be his last season in the NFL, and Tampa Bay managed to retain most of their Super Bowl winning roster - a huge benefit to the new campaign. The Buccaneers had an average start to the season last year, and will want to improve that this time around.

When we take a look at the two teams’ previous head to head games, it’s a surprise that despite both being NFC teams, the two don’t meet as often as you might think. Their last five games in the league span across the last decade, and their last competitive game was back in 2-18 - before Brady joined the Buccaneers. While it’s the Dallas Cowboys that dominate past encounters, evident in the results, the head to head shouldn’t be overly-considered if you’re looking to place a bet. The two franchises have changed dramatically since 2011, so we don’t think we can take much from the result.

With that said, below you can find all of the details regarding the two teams’ previous meetings. We have also put together the statistical highlights from the past encounters, and we will share our latest betting tip for the upcoming Thursday Night Football matchup below!

After analyzing all of the information about the two teams, especially the current situation of both franchises, we think that it will be the Buccaneers that will be victorious in the first game of the new NFL season. We’re also expecting Tom Brady to go about his business as usual, throwing 3+ touchdown passes!

How could we bet against the current Super Bowl champions? It’s unsurprising, but we certainly think it’s likely that the Buccaneers will get the job done in the first game of the new season, beating the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football! A major part of that will of course be Tom Brady, who’s ageing almost like a fine wine, and will want another ring to add to his collection. With the pass game clearly a strong point of the Tampa Bay offense, we think he will score at least three passing touchdowns this week!

With BetMGM - the leading US online sportsbook - you can find odds for Tom Brady to score 3+ passing TDs at +160 - generous for something that is extremely likely!
