Sure why not.

Writes King: “Tampa Bay gets to open at home on Thursday, Sept. 9, with the 2020 champs beginning 2021 with basically the exact same roster. My prediction: The foe will be either Buffalo or Dallas. Why do I say that? The NFL wants to get off to a very strong start after a shaky offseason, and they want a game that will generate buzz in the weeks before the season begins and will be must-see TV to start the season.”

“Buzz”? Sure.

But what about the Bills (an AFC power) bring able to be competitive with Tom Brady in Tampa? What about Dallas (um, coming off a 6-10 season) being able to do the same?

King’s theory has that covered as well, as he writes that other foes’ involvement “could be a game that’s over by halftime. Not so Buffalo or Dallas. The Bills could go to Tampa and win the opener, and the Cowboys, with Dak Prescott leading an explosive offense, would be able to go toe-to-toe with the Arians/Brady offense.”

Looking at TBs schedule, there is no doubt that the two "sexiest" possibilities are buf and Dal. Nothing else is really all that intriguing. I could definitely see tb opening against dal

Why is the entire football field covered in yellow flags? Tampa overcomes a dominant Dallas performance, 30-27. New phrases after the game... Ceedee caught the ball. Zeke caught the ball. Cox did NOT have Pass interference, not even close.
