Welcome to Week 5 of the NFL. As always, it kicks off with a great Thursday Night Football game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys. Fanatics Sportsbooks wants you to be part of the game with an offer of $350 in bonus bets on a $20 wager when using promo code FOXNEWS350.
When this game was scheduled, the schedule makers had to think it was going to be two teams that looked like they were headed for the postseason. The Buccaneers haven’t been able to get a win yet, and the Cowboys have seen games slip through their grasp.
The Buccaneers are 0-4 to start the season, and they’ve lost three home games in a row. It is fairly shocking for a team that has plenty of good players on the roster. Baker Mayfield is out for three to six weeks, so things are going from bad to worse for Tampa Bay.

The team turned to Jalon Daniels last week, and it wasn’t a very encouraging start. He threw for just 148 yards against the Packers, and ultimately the team lost 17-14. He did give them 55 yards on the ground, but it wasn’t nearly enough to keep the offense moving and the Packers off of the field.
The Cowboys are one of the more frustrating teams in football. They have the pieces, but it seems like they are always trying to build the puzzle without knowing what the picture is. Dallas has a great quarterback and wide receivers. They don’t have the best running game, but it is still good enough.
Their defense was revamped over the offseason, but they have lost to the Ravens and Giants in two of their four games this season. Perhaps playing a team not affiliated with John Harbaugh will keep them winning tonight.
Can the Buccaneers somehow find their first victory of the season, or will the Cowboys seize an opportunity to roll on a reeling team? New users can use promo code FOXNEWS350 to earn $350 in FanCash on a $20 wager on tonight’s game.
