SPORTSBOOK
Buccaneers vs Cowboys Prop #1: CeeDee Lamb Receiving Yards
Tampa Bay has struggled to contain receivers in 2024, allowing 247.7 passing yards per battle, which is third worst in the league. They’ve been hard pressed even more away from home, giving up 273.6 yards. Enter Cowboys wideout CeeDee Lamb, who has 1,089 yards, third in the NFL.
Ceedee Lamb sees the Buccaneers this week, who run the most Cover 3 in the NFL (52.4% since week 7). Ceedee has been strong vs. Cover 3, see below:
– Vs. All Coverages: 28% TPRR, 2.26 YPRR
– Vs. Cover 3: 33% TPRR, 2.81 YPRRThe Bucs also blitz at the highest rate in the NFL,…

In his last five outings, Lamb has racked up at least 93 yards on three occasions. While his output has been a little inconsistent while he plays with backup QB Cooper Rush, he should get his opportunities against a leaky pass D, particularly in a climate controlled dome in Big D.
- Buccaneers vs Cowboys Prop Pick: CeeDee Lamb over 73.5 receiving yards (-115); risk 1 unit at DraftKings
Buccaneers vs Cowboys Prop #2: Rachaad White Rushing Yards
This season, the Buccaneers have been excellent running the football, averaging 144.4 yards per game, tied for fourth in the NFL. They’re up against a run D that has been better of late, but is still allowing the fourth most rush yards per game (136.1). Add to that, Dallas has the second worst run defense at home (166.6).
Sunday's Bucs-Cowboys game features three of the NFL's top 10 rushers over the last three weeks. Rico Dowdle easily leading the league, but also wild for Bucky Irving and Rachaad White to both make the list. pic.twitter.com/7Zf9ELoJVL

Rachaad White’s line is set at 42.5 in this one, and he’s healthier than backfield mate Bucky Irving, who has been limited in practice (back/hip). His rush total is also lower than Irving’s 63.5 mark. White has powered over his line in the last three outings, rushing for 76, 90 and 64 yards. John Hyslop’s Buccaneers vs Cowboys same-game parlay features White having a strong contest.

Buccaneers vs Cowboys Touchdown Scorer Props
| Player | Odds to Score 1st TD | Odds to Score Anytime TD |
|---|---|---|
| Rico Dowdle (DAL) | +600 | -110 |
| Mike Evans (TB) | +650 | +100 |
| Bucky Irving (TB) | +650 | +100 |
| Rachaad White (TB) | +750 | +125 |
| CeeDee Lamb (DAL) | +1200 | +155 |
| Jalen McMillen (TB) | +1500 | +270 |
| Sterling Shephard (TB) | +1700 | +320 |
| Jake Ferguson (DAL) | +1800 | +295 |
| Payne Durham (TB) | +1800 | +370 |
| Ezekiel Elliott (DAL) | +2200 | +425 |
| Baker Mayfield (TB) | +2200 | +475 |
| Brandin Cooks (DAL) | +2500 | +425 |
The Cowboys’ Rico Dowdle has the shortest odds to find the end zone first at +600 and has the smallest odds to record a TD at any time at -110.
Buccaneers vs Cowboys Prop #3: Rachaad White Anytime Touchdown Scorer
If we’re already going with Rachaad White to blow over his rushing yardage total, why not pair that up with an anytime TD scorer wager? After all, he’s found pay dirt nine times this season (six receiving, three rushing), with end zone trips in seven of his last eight contests. In that span, he’s racked up all nine of those touchdowns on the campaign.
At home the Cowboys give 2.3 rushing TDs per game. Have a Sunday, Rachaad White and Bucky Irving. Ok maybe Sean Tucker too! #footballguys #haveasunday #NFL

He’s facing a Dallas D that not only gives up a lot of yards on the ground, but they’ve also surrendered the most rushing TD’s in the NFL at Jerry World (22). They’ve been particularly bad at AT&T Stadium, allowing 2.3 rushing TD’s per game. You’re also getting White at odds longer than the top-three players on the board.
