MINTY BETS: It's time for some Sunday Night Football, and what an exciting game it'll be, as the New England Patriots host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs are 6 and 1/2 point favorites, and the total is 49. I'm Minty Bets here with Jared Quay and Pam Maldonado, and we're here to give you our best bets for this primetime game. Jared, what an emotional game it'll be. What an exciting game, hopefully, it'll be. Who's your pick for this one?
JARED QUAY: I'm surprised this line is only minus 6 and 1/2. I think we're overvaluing the Patriots in Foxborough, especially when the majority of the fans there are going to be wearing Tom Brady jerseys. This could be a home game for Tom Brady. He's undefeated. He wins all the time in Foxborough. This could be a history night. He could become the all-time passing leader over Drew Brees. All he needs is 68 yards. Hopefully it's a 69-yard touchdown to Gronk, just because of consistencies there.
And I have the Bucs rolling here, and it's not even just because of Brady. I really think Mac Jones is going to struggle with this Tampa Bay defense. They got sliced last week, I don't think that happens again. I think that he's going to be under pressure highly. I might even take a reverse teaser and get him at -14. I'm that confident about him.
MINTY BETS: Wow. Well, I don't disagree with you on the Bucs pick, I think that line is kind of too low. So I have to-- I'm not going to bet against Tom Brady. He's 35-12 against the spread after a loss in his career, which are pretty strong numbers there. So I think Tom Brady will have a day. He will definitely pass by Drew Brees for the all-time passing yards leader. And he'll probably blow out the Patriots here in Foxborough. Pam, what do you got for us?
PAM MALDONADO: "Hello, it's me." It is the theme song of the week. Look at the quarterbacks that the Patriots have faced. You have Tua Tagovailoa, Zach Wilson, and Jameis Winston, who has yet to throw more than 150 passing yards. Those quarterbacks are 29th, 30th, and 31st in total passing yards. Tom-pa Brady is going to come in, he's going to attack this defense. He is second in passing yards in the NFL, and he has thrown 143 yards less than these three quarterbacks combined. Tom Brady has 10 touchdowns, versus the 10 touchdowns collectively from these three in seven combined games. Tom-pa Brady is going to have until today.
