9. Dallas Cowboys at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

This is the first appearance on the list for the reigning Super Bowl champs as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have become a must-see attraction for the NFL. Tom Brady and company are looking to repeat as champs, making this game against the Dallas Cowboys an intriguing showcase of potential division champions.

The Cowboys are always a team that draws a ton of interest nationally and there is plenty of reason to expect a rebound after a rough 2020 season. Getting Dak Prescott back from a devastating ankle injury should revitalize Dallas’ offense, giving it plenty of firepower to go head-to-head with Brady’s Buccaneers.’

There is also significant shootout potential in this game thanks to a Cowboys’ defense that had a rough 2020 campaign. Mike Nolan was fired after the season and replaced by Dan Quinn, a move that should help a bit, but asking Dallas to match up with all of Tampa Bay’s weapons is a tall order.

This contest figures to be highly competitive and should produce a ton of offense, which could set us up for an epic duel between Brady and Prescott. Make sure you have plenty of popcorn ready to watch this marquee NFC matchup, which could also serve as a playoff preview.
