This is one of, if not the most interesting line and matchup of the weekend for me. In short, I like most was pretty shocked to see the Cowboys were, albeit short, favored in this one on the road after being dismantled by the Commanders last week.
What Tampa Team Will We Get?
The Bucs have been less than impressive of course and only made the playoffs because of how weak their division is.
For that reason, what is noteworthy is that, the Bucs already beat the Cowboys once this year, Brady has never in his career lost to the Cowboys.
Important to realize, the offence in it’s final full game together against the Panthers looked like the offence we expected from them.
Walking Wounded
What is most important however for this one at least for me, is the status of offensive linemen Tristan Wirfs and Ryan Jensen. Word has it both could potentially return for Tampa which would be a massive boost for a unit that has been poor all season.
On the Cowboys side of things, well they have a laundry list of injuries themselves but mostly have one of their best rosters of recent memory.
Obviously, the Cowboys defenders on twitter today are hilarious, saying that Dak has no weapons and that he’s better than Hurts is among the craziest takes I’ve seen but there are many.
At any rate however, they have not lost two in a row all season which is an important fact to state. So let’s take a look at these two and see what we can find out.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys have some impressive metrics on both sides of the ball over the course of this season. Especially on defence.
Nonetheless, I will look them over and post them here as we always do. But it cannot be overstated the difference between these two teams and these two quarterbacks and their history.
And watching the discussion today on Twitter about the Cowboys was pretty hilarious. They have never gotten it done when it matters most and Dak is a notorious bed wetter.
Poor Clock Management
Mike McCarthy, who although I have changed my tune on a bit and think maybe he gets more blame than he should, is also a notorious bed wetter and one of his worst attributes is his failure to manage the clock especially in big playoff games.
Indeed, Todd Bowles and Byron Leftwich have shown similar struggles this season of course, but a masterful clock manager and field general is Tom Brady.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers are an interesting sleeper for me for beyond just the overused trope of ”don’t bet against Brady in the playoffs”. And while that is true, and likely spoils the pick I am going to make, there are other reasons why I think the Bucs can win this game and go on a run.
Another key point, it is largely dependent on whether or not C Ryan Jensen and LT Tristan Wirfs return to the lineup which I will be monitoring closely and will update this article when the declaration comes out.
Bad O-Line
The Bucs struggles this season are largely due to how badly the offensive line has been, making it tough to establish the running game and forcing Brady to make quick throwing decisions.
Historically, he’s been great at that, but by design not by necessity. It’s easy to tell it’s an uncomfortable offence to be operating.
Furthermore, one thing that has been noticeable in all of these teams wins this year is that Brady seems to get just as many points as they need to win, and their defense has been great once again.

I just don’t have faith in the Cowboys to get this done on the road no less. Give me Brady and the Bucs at home to come through in the clutch.
I will probably take them regardless, but keep an eye on those injury updates!
