It is true that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have a losing record at 8-9. But the Brady Bunch will not apologize for winning the weak NFC South. Ironically, the GOAT Tom Brady suffered the first losing season of his career. But the NFL Playoffs are another story altogether. And the Dallas Cowboys are renowned for their past Pro Football betting playoff failures. Dallas QB Dak Prescott continues to make too many key mistakes. At the same time, the Buccaneers have full faith that Brady can deliver in the clutch.
