We're going to give you some in-depth analysis, as well as the NFL predictions from our predictive an alytics model and world-class artificial intelligence. The Super Bowl is right around the corner, so we're pulling out all the stops. Let's have a fun couple of weeks, as this is one of the best parts of the year for sports bettors.
Dallas actually kicked off the season with a prime-time loss at Tampa Bay. Now the Cowboys will look to avoid ending it in the same fashion as they hit to road to face a Bucs team with the worst record (8-9) of any of the 14 postseason participants.
Tampa won a lackluster division and enters the playoffs still with much to prove. Dallas went 12-5 but played miserably in the regular-season finale against the Washington Commanders.
