1. Week 1 vs Buccaneers – Sunday Night Football

They usually say save the best for last, but that’s not the case here. The Cowboys’ Week 1 matchup vs. the Bucs last year was one of the best games they played despite the loss. The team will be looking for serious revenge on their home turf.

Plus, the stakes are high having the primetime spotlight for the first game of the season. Rookies like Tyler Smith and Jalen Tolbert will be put to the test right away against one of the best teams in the league.

If the Cowboys know anything, it’s that they can’t leave Tom Brady with time on the clock at the end of the game. They know what he can do with the football and cannot leave this game up to chance.

Luckily for Dallas, Tampa Bay is likely to be without Chris Godwin, but they still have plenty of other offensive and defensive weapons at their disposal. If America’s Team can start their 2022 season with a huge victory to prove the doubters wrong it will be a huge tone-setter, especially with another tough matchup against Cincinnati the following week.
