Tom Brady is now 44 years old and about to embark on his 22nd NFL season. He is going for his eighth Super Bowl ring and second in as many years with the Buccaneers. Personally, with Drew Brees retiring for the broadcast booth, Brady is poised for a few more all-time records including the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards as he starts the season trailing Brees by just 1,154 yards.
Though it’s true Bruce Arians and the Bucs are led by the most accomplished quarterback in history, their team is built in a way that would make any QB salivate. Most of Tampa’s supporting cast are back to help the team’s chances of a repeat including three-time pro bowler Mike Evans who caught 13 touchdowns last season and the Bucs leading rusher from a year ago Ronald Jones II.
The Cowboys are coming into the 2021 season trying to bounce back from a very disappointing 2020 season. Dallas’ season took a dive in week five when quarterback Dak Prescott broke his right ankle, ending his season.
Despite the injury, the Cowboys signed Prescott to a long-term deal worth $160 million after franchise tagging him the last two seasons. Prescott then started training camp, but then suffered a right shoulder strain and was held out of the preseason. Thursday night Prescott will see his first game action since that fateful Sunday afternoon last season.
Dallas is also hoping to have as much protection as possible for Prescott in the opener. All-Pro guard Zach Martin tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday and his status for Thursday is in question. By NFL protocols, Martin needs to pass two COVID tests prior to kickoff Thursday.
The Buccaneers are 8-point favorites against the Cowboys. The over/under is 51.5. The 2021 NFL season marks the league’s first 17-game regular season schedule.

Cowboys vs Buccaneers live streams in the US
In the US, the Cowboys vs Buccaneers live stream will be broadcast at 8:20 p.m. ET / 5:20 p.m. PT today (Thursday, Sept. 9) on NBC, which is available with most cable packages and on two of our favorite streaming services: Fubo TV and Sling TV.
If FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network have typically been enough to get you all the football you need, you could rely on Sling (which doesn't include CBS or NFL RedZone). You can get CBS NFL games via Paramount Plus, if you want.
The more comprehensive package comes from Fubo TV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $50 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $65 per month.
Fubo.TV: One of the best streaming services with the NFL Network, and the top pick for watching all of the 2021 NFL live streams, Fubo has all of the right network channels and the two cable channels you don't want to go without. Who needs cable? Not Fubo subscribers. It's got a 7-day free trial so you don't need to pay up front.VIEW DEAL
If you can stand to miss CBS games, Sling TV provides a middle ground. The $50 per month Sling Orange + Blue package has FOX affiliates, local NBC affiliates and ESPN.VIEW DEAL
NFL Sunday Ticket: This game is not a part of NFL Sunday Ticket this week, which has no extra games, just the Sunday afternoon games.
