Dan Karpuc: Buccaneers +120 ML
Think I’m betting against Tom Brady in the playoffs? Think again. With a 35-12 playoff win-loss record (19 more wins than the next-closest QB) and seven Super Bowl victories (three more than the next-closest QB), TB12’s magic comes alive at this time of the year and this Cowboys team looked like absolute trash when it lost to the Commanders, 26-6, last week. Brady is 7-0 against the Cowboys in his career and Tampa Bay has a ton of playmakers on both sides of the ball that can certainly match up against the Cowboys. I don’t particularly trust either coaching staff to make sound decisions, but whenever Brady finds himself in this situation, I’m never going to fade him.

Brad Pinkerton: Bucs +3.5 & Under 48.5 (+185, DraftKings)

I'm not quite as confident in Brady and Co. as Dan after the Bucs' disappointing season, but I do think this will be a close, low-scoring game. With that in mind, I'll take a same-game parlay of Bucs +3.5 and Under 48.5 for a little extra breathing room on each leg for odds of +185 at DraftKings. Bonus: You can get a stepped-up SGP boost at DraftKings for each additional leg up to 10 for a 100% boost. New users can also get a ton of free bets with the welcome offer below!

Brad Pinkerton: BetMGM NFL OGP Insurance Play of the Day

If you're not playing BetMGM's NFL OGP Insurance promo yet, consider this the first day of the rest of your bank-roll building life! Opt in to the promo and place a four-leg (minimum) one-game parlay on any NFL game; if your OGP loses by one leg, you'll get your stake back in a free bet up to $25 -- and you can take advantage of this promo once every day there's an NFL game!

Here is my play for Monday, using the strategy of going over the lowest game total and under the highest game total (can only lose a maximum of one leg there), and taking the most points on both teams' alt lines (can only lose one leg here too); you can apply this strategy to any football game:

DAL-TB Over 35.5
DAL-TB Under 55.5
Cowboys +7.5
Bucs +12.5
OGP Odds: +175

Join BetMGM to start taking advantage of their daily OGP insurance promos across NFL, NBA, NHL and college football, too! New BetMGM customers also get a risk-free first bet up to $1,000 using the offer below!
