Las Vegas - Never thrilled about laying points on the road, but in this spot, it's worth a tumble. Looked at the injury lists for both teams, and MAN, they're extensive. Counted 19 players on the Cowboys that were listed as probable/questionable/out. The Saints listed 20 players in the same three categories.

Did a deep dive on Tampa's schedule this season, and a couple of things jumped off the page. TB12 and his crew are OH & THREE against the spread vs. teams with winning records (Cowboys, Rams, Patriots). The Bucs are OH & FIVE against the spread on the road so far.
