NFL 2021 Week 1: Cowboys vs. Buccaneers

💰 Best Bet

Four of the last six Kickoff Games have finished with a margin of 7 points or less and we're backing in the Cowboys to make it five out of seven in 2021.

Last year's Kickoff Game was one of the two that ended in a larger margin, but that was between two teams who ended up having VERY different seasons, in the Chiefs and Texans.

With Dak Prescott back in the lineup for Dallas, they should be able to cover the spread here, even with the Tampa crowd set to be up and about after winning the Super Bowl at their most recent outing.

You can see all live probabilities in the interactive widget below. Remember, our predictive analytics model is constantly simulating every NFL matchup to find the best value on the spread, moneyline, over/under and player props!

PICK: Cowboys to cover @ TwinSpires

🔥 Best Player Prop

Props, props, props! Whether you're a football, basketball or baseball bettor (or all three, like us), you'll for sure be aware of how fun player prop betting is, and it probably peaks with excitement when we get to touchdown scorers.

Our top pick to score an anytime touchdown in this one is - unsurprisingly to most - Mike Evans. Evans got in for six 13 times last regular season, including six scores in the first five games of the season!

At even money, the Bucs Wide Receiver is undoubtedly great value to score this week.

PICK: Mike Evans TD (+100) @ TwinSpires

🎁 Best Sportsbook Promo

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers come into this game as favorites (as they should) meaning there isn't a lot of value betting them at the moneyline. But, that doesn't mean there isn't a nice and easy way to cash in on them getting the dub in this one!

If you place a $50 bet on Tampa Bay to win the Super Bowl with Twinspires Sportsbook, you'll score yourself $10 every time they win this season. Yep, even if they don't win the big one, you'll be in the black as soon as they win their fifth game of the season (they won 11 last year)!

CLAIM: TwinSpires Super Bowl promotion

As it stands, our model has the Bucs as the second best chance of winning the Super Bowl this season, but if you're feeling any other team you can check out the Super Bowl probabilities for every team in the NFL.
