Can the Cowboys cover vs. the Bucs in Week 16? (0:38)

Tyler Fulghum explains why he like the Cowboys plus the points in a showdown with the Buccaneers. (0:38)

The final game of Week 16's Sunday slate, pits the Dallas Cowboys, looking to keep their postseason hopes alive, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football (8:15 p.m. ET on NBC/Peacock). The Cowboys have won three of their past four games, including a 31-14 upset victory over the Carolina Panthers last week. Much of the team's success has come because of the standout performances of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Lamb caught nine passes of 116 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers, clearing the 100-yard mark for just the second time this season. He enters Sunday night with a receiving prop of 79.5 yards.

Meanwhile, the Bucs are in the midst of a four-game win streak and put up 40 points in a blowout victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Running back Bucky Irving has been the driving force behind Tampa Bay's offensive success recently, rushing for 117 yards on 15 carries last week. The line for this game opened at Bucs -4.5 but has since moved down a half a point to -4. The total also moved down a point to 47.5 after opening at 48.5.
