Week 5 of the NFL is set to begin on Thursday with an NFC matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Cowboys and the Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay enters this game with a record of 0-4. Their winless start to the season continued in Week 4, as the Bucs lost to the Green Bay Packers by a score of 17-14. It was another lackluster game for the Bucs offensively, as they totaled just 275 yards of offense. That said, it was also the debut for rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels, who will now have to play his first road game in the NFL and could continue to struggle.

As for Dallas, they enter this game with a record of 2-2. The Cowboys are coming off a win in Week 4 against the Houston Texans, who they beat by a score of 34-30. Dallas’ offense had plenty of success in this game, as they totaled 399 yards. However, their defense continues to be inconsistent, as they allowed 397 yards. Despite their defense having issues, this is a game where the Cowboys’ offense should continue to excel, especially wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who leads the NFL in receptions and yards.
