MINTY BETS: It's week three of the NFL and we're here to give you guys our best bets. I'm Minty Bets here with Pam Maldonado and Jared Quay. So, let's start with Pam. What is your best bet for Sunday?

PAMELA MALDONADO: I'm looking at Washington Football Team plus 8 and 1/2 on the Buffalo Bills. This game, it's Josh Allen versus quarterback pressure. He's averaging right now 56% completion through two games, just three passing touchdowns, and a 5.3 yards per pass. Allen, when he's under pressure, he has 11 of 31 completions for just 128 yards, 4.1 yards per pass. When he's blitzed, he's 6 of 18 on completion for just 65 yards and 3.6 YPA.

Washington, they are the third highest rate of blitz through two weeks, pressuring quarterbacks at the sixth highest rate. I like this quarterback pressure to keep Allen in check. Give me Washington Football Team on the road.

MINTY BETS: I like that pick. And I'm also going to go with an underdog. I like the LA Chargers plus 6 and 1/2 over the Kansas City Chiefs. Like, as we all know, I did an episode on the Mint saying how the Chiefs can't cover, and I'm not falling for their tactics again. I think that this LA Chargers offense is underrated and their defense is pretty strong here.

Here's a fun fact, the Chiefs are 0-2 against the spread versus Justin Herbert. So, give me LA all the way. What about you, Jared?

JAREDY QUAY: I love it. I love both you guys' pick. I'm picking the game of the week. I'm going for the game no one wants to bet. I love the Buccaneers here. I know the line has moved up to 2 on minus 2 and 1/2. I still think they cover here. And I'll tell you why, all right.

Obviously, the Rams have a high-powered offense, but the neutralizer there is the need to run the ball. What does Tampa Bay do? They stop the run, OK.

I think they're going to force Matt Stafford to beat them through the air, which I don't think he does. Meanwhile, their defense is really good. They have Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald. But if you know anything about Jalen Ramsey, the one person he has trouble covering is Antonio Brown. His status is still in the air because he is on the COVID list, but he's vaccinated. I'm hoping he'll be back.

I just think 2 and 1/2, I know that because they're home, that's why the line is that way. But I think this Buccaneers team is way too strong. And I think the Rams lost a lot of pieces and they're being overvalued here. So, I know it's the game of the week, people don't want to touch it, but I really like the Bucs to cover here.

PAMELA MALDONADO: Jared, I don't hate your bet, but I do have the Rams on my two-team teaser leg for this week's article. So, maybe we both hit.
