The NFL regular season officially gets underway tonight as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Dallas Cowboys for a primetime launch feature, on Thursday Night Football.
Fan involvement in sports has risen dramatically over the past two decades with fantasy football climbing to new heights seemingly every season, the continued influence of social media (for better or worse), and an increase even in sports betting.
In tonight’s opening act, the Bucs are favored by more than a touchdown and Ryan Succop extra point as they look to start the year with a win over ‘America’s Team’.
