Week 3Sun, Sep 27 vs. Baltimore Ravens (neutral) Opp. rank #5Group A
L 31-34 Line +3 ATS: Push (0)

L 16-24 Line -8 ATS: Did not cover (-16)

Buccaneers 24, COWBOYS 16 (DAL -8). The Cowboys put forth no effort in this game. They were lethargic and the Buccaneers played with much more emotion. A chunk of Dallas' yards came in garbage time when it was 24-10. 419-366 TB, 6.7-6.4 DAL

L 13-23 Line +1 ATS: Did not cover (-9)

PACKERS 23, Cowboys 13 (GB -1). The Packers converted all of their third-and-longs, while the Cowboys managed only seven points until the final minute because their receivers inexplicably couldn't get open. Dallas committed two turnovers just outside the red zone. 318-303 GB, 4.5-4.3 GB

W 24-20 Line -7 ATS: Did not cover (-3)

Week 6Sun, Oct 18 vs. Carolina Panthers Opp. rank #14Group C
L 14-25 Line +1 ATS: Did not cover (-10)
