Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys Odds – NFL Odds Week 8

The Dallas Cowboys (4-3) were thought of as Super Bowl contenders with Tony Romo at quarterback. Without him, NFL odds show they may not even be a playoff team. The Cowboys will be without Romo for NFL betting until mid-November so it is up to backup quarterback Brad Johnson to lead the offense until Romo returns. The Cowboys were humiliated last week against the Rams and Johnson did not play well, throwing three interceptions. It may not get any easier in for Johnson on Sunday at 1:00pm EST on FOX against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2) defense that is second in the league with 12 interceptions.

The Tampa defense ranks 8th in the league in total defense and fourth in scoring defense. "We can accomplish our goals, but we can't accomplish them if we don't play better," Dallas coach Wade Phillips said. Odds makers have the Cowboys -2 point favorites at home against the Buccaneers in NFL Week 8 odds with a total of 40.5. The Bucs are trying for their sixth win of the season on Sunday. They dominated Seattle 20-10 last week in a game that was never close. The Bucs had a 402-176 advantage over the Seahawks in total yards. "I think the defense played great," Tampa Bay safety Sabby Piscitelli said. "But the biggest thing was the offense kept us off the field." Jeff Garcia played great again, throwing for 310 yards and a touchdown. He will be facing a Dallas defense that is without cornerback Terence Newman and Pro Bowl safety Roy Williams.
