Underdog is offering $100 in bonus wagers to new users who wager $5 on Thursday's game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys using promo code FOXNEWS. The promotion requires users to repeat the $5 wager over the next ten days to earn the full $100 in bonus bets.
The matchup features two teams that have faced each other only 23 times in their history, including three postseason games. The Dallas Cowboys lead the all-time series 17-6 and have won their last two meetings against Tampa Bay. In their most recent encounter, the Cowboys defeated the Buccaneers 26-24. That game saw Dallas build a 10-point lead after the first quarter and add 13 points in the second quarter, while Tampa Bay scored 14 points to make it 23-14 at halftime. The Buccaneers closed within three points late in the fourth quarter, but the deficit proved too large to overcome.
The current roster dynamics differ from that previous meeting. Cooper Rush started at quarterback for Dallas in their last game against Tampa, while Baker Mayfield was on the field but will miss Thursday's contest due to injury. Dak Prescott is expected to play against a backup quarterback. Sportsbooks have set an almost double-digit spread in favor of the Cowboys, reflecting a view that the game may be a decisive win for Dallas.
The schedule context for this week includes bye weeks for the Carolina Panthers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
