Brady throws so fast that he will be fine even behind a shaky OL. It will cost him his ability to challenge us deep, but we're not going to touch him in the pocket.
Dak is a good mental processor, but he's never been Brady catch-and-throw fast, and the Buccaneers have a LOT of front-seven weapons to attack him with.
Brady is going to run a very New England style high-percentage passing attack on us, and I think the only thing that's going to stop it will be turnovers. That's the key for the Cowboys... Parsons or Diggs are going to have to force something.
For the Cowboys, the key questions are how well do Smith and Peters hold up, and can Noah Brown and Fehoko separate.

Want to reconsider any of these retorts?Of course you give Dallas no advantages, typical.
You forgot a key position TE - Dallas, Tommy Boy does not have his security blanket anymore.
QB-Bucs, only because of blankets on the wall, however Dak went toe to toe with him at TB last year, in his 1st action in almost a year. Could be different this year.
OL-even, but slightly to Dallas, they return more guys than TB.
DEF-even, don't be so sure about this, TB lost some players on defense. We actually gained, on paper, as that is what this game is for now, on paper.
WR-Bucs, depends if Godwin plays, if not, then even
RB-even (could be DAL if they use Pollard creatively) - BS, no way Fournette is better than Zeke. Add Pollard, advantage Dallas for sure, no matter how he is used. So Dallas.
K-Bucs -yes
Coaching-even, maybe, as it is Bowles 1st year as a HC.
Home Field - depended how many Bucs fans bought tickets.
Advantage Bucs - no, it is Even, but maybe slightly TB only because of the K. Night mare flashbacks going on here.
Intangiables = WIN - Dallas. Becasue it is the homer thing to do.
