QB Tom Brady Pokes Fun At 'America's Team'? Cowboys Open NFL Week 1 at Super Bowl Bucs - Sports Illustrated

FRISCO - The full NFL schedule will be released on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. CT, but the network partners involved are allowed a Week 1 "early release'' - and the Dak Prescott-led Dallas Cowboys have an early high-profile meeting.

The Cowboys will help the league kick off its season on Thursday, Sept. 9 at the defending champion Bucs. It was speculated that this might happen because Prescott would help make the game competitive against Tom Brady and the defending champ Bucs.

Speaking of Tom Brady ... he is being sarcastic here with his "America's Team'' reference ... right?

So ... “buzz”? Sure. Of course, a lot of Cowboys games are about "buzz,'' as you can see by the opponents ... a bit below without soon-to-be-announced dates and times ... but right here with what we pretty much know so far:

If you care to put weight on last year's results? The Cowboys' opponents went 122-148-2 during the 2020 NFL season. If you care to put money on this year's results? The Cowboys currently have the 13th-best odds on FanDuel Sportsbook to win the Super Bowl in 2021 at +2800.

And it all starts in Tampa.

Guaranteed competitiveness? What about Dallas (um, coming off a 6-10 season) says that'll happen?

Let’s be frank: The Cowboys’ involvement here might be about competitiveness. But it’s mostly about another component.
