This is a 10* TOTAL BLOOD-BATH on the OVER Boys/Bucs.

A loss here by either team will be considered a letdown of a season. Each was one of the favored to actually win the Super Bowl, but each struggled at times throughout the year (for various reasons.)

These teams played on September 11th in Week 1 and Tampa pulled away for the 19-3 victory. The total in that one was set at 49.5.

This Monday Night Wildcard total is set four whole points lower. And I do indeed feel it's now much too low.

Tampa had a wildcard spot locked up, so it lost 30-17 in Week 18 to the Falcons. I gave out a play on Atlanta in that one.

But previous to that Brady was off his best game of the year in a 30-24 victory over Carolina.

Dallas lost 26-6 at Washington in Week 18, but previous to that it hammered Tennessee 27-13. The week before that it beat Philadelphia in a crucial game by a score of 40-34.

Dak Prescott leads an offense that averages 27.5 PPG and I'm expecting a good ol' fashioned shootout between these two polorazing pivots. The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
