Baker Mayfield has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rolling, throwing darts all over the field. The Bucs have a four game winning streak where they have scored an average of 31 PPG. Combine that with a defense allowing just 16.6 PPG over their last five, and I don't think too many teams want to see this team in the playoffs. Dallas has had a trying year. The injuries to key players has reduced their defense to one of the worst in the league. Dallas has some hidden laundry as the Cowboys seem to fold vs. good teams, and dominate weak ones. Dallas is 22-42-2 ATS since the start of 2015 vs. a winning team, and 44-25-2 ATS vs. a losing team. Dallas may play better as they are getting healthier, but I don't forecast a win here. Make the play on Tampa Bay on the moneyline.
