After two weeks away from home, the Dallas Cowboys return home to AT&T Stadium to kick off Week 5 of the NFL season on Thursday Night Football. Dallas will aim to build on last weekend’s win over the Houston Texans<\/a> and start October with back-to-back wins on a short week. <\/p>\n

Dallas hosts the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>, and leads the overall series against Tampa Bay, 17-6, and has won the previous two meetings between the two teams. <\/p>\n

This week, the Cowboys are heavily favored over the Buccaneers, with Tampa Bay officially ruling star quarterback Baker Mayfield out of the game<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Mayfield is dealing with a dislocated thumb, which dramatically shifted the odds<\/a> and made Dallas an 8.5-point favorite. The over\/under for Thursday’s game and the Cowboys’ high-flying offense is set at 47.5 total points, according to DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Cowboys are such heavy favorites that the moneyline sits at -470, meaning you would need to wager $470 on Dallas to land just $100 in return. A $100 bet on the Bucs, meanwhile, would net you a $360 payday. It’s the most the Cowboys have been favored by this season, so we’ll have to see if they can live up to expectations on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s game will air live on Amazon Prime Video, with the legendary Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit on the call, while Kaylee Hartung will provide updates from the sideline. <\/p>\n
