This game started before FTT created its first archived prediction snapshot. The market context and final result remain useful, but the site will not manufacture a pregame opinion after the fact.
Why the model landed here
Strength, scoring, site and rest.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers entered Week 5 at 0-4 with a -5.0 point differential per game. Dallas Cowboys entered at 2-2 and +2.5 per game.
Dallas Cowboys receives the model's 1.5-point home-field adjustment. The rest difference is even.
The scoring projection regresses both teams' current points scored and allowed toward their prior-season baselines. The opponent-adjusted rating caps individual game margins at 28 points so one blowout cannot dominate the board.
On the 2025 Weeks 5-18 walk-forward, these rules finished 125–83 straight up, 81–82 ATS and 81–80 on totals. The ATS and totals results were effectively coin flips.
