MINTY BETS: It's week seven of the NFL. I'm Minty Bets joined by Jared Quay and Pam Maldonado, and we are here to give you our best bets on the board. And I am going to kick us off here, because my bet is a five star pick. It's going to be the Cincinnati Bengals plus 6 and 1/2 over the Baltimore Ravens.

Now, Cinci plays close games, and so do the Ravens. And this is a divisional game. It's going to be close, Jared. I know you're shaking your head. You're telling me not to bet. You're texting me not to bet on them. But I'm going to do it.

And I know the Bengals have lost to some crappy teams, but the good teams that they lost who were only by 3 points. Their defense is allowing the 10th fewest rushing yards per carry, so I think they can hold off the Ravens real well here. I think they can keep it within a touchdown. Jared, let's pass it on to you. What do you have for us?

JARED QUAY: Well, that's not my best bet, but I need to raise that, hey, I'm fading Minty this week on that best bet, guys. But my best bet, all right, obviously, there's a lot of huge spreads this week. Not all of those are going to cover. But I'm taking a huge spread with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers minus 12 and 1/2 against the Bears. If I know anything about Bruce Arians and Tom Brady, they score their points. They don't like to run the clock out. Tom Brady is going to get his throws in. He's going to make sure he gets his receivers is.

I just don't think the Bears can keep up with that. The Bears are missing their top two running backs, so they're not going to be able to do that. Justin Fields just hasn't showed me enough of throwing the ball to be able to keep up with the Buccaneers. And with that being the case, yes, 12 and 1/2 is a lot, but if the Buccaneers are going to score 30 points, and the Bears don't score 14, I'm not the best at math, but I think that's a cover. Obviously, I don't like this as much as Minty likes the Bengals, but I do think I'm right.

MINTY BETS: OK. Don't bet against Brady. I like that. Pam, what do you have for us?

PAMELA MALDONADO: If I am a numbers better, I'm following the numbers, and the numbers tell me to take the under 49 and 1/2 in Washington at Green Bay. Washington Football Team was only able to score 13 points against the worst defense in all the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs. Both teams ranked bottom 10 in plays per game, so this is going to be a slow, methodical grind it out type of game. Offensively, both opt to run rather than be pass heavy, even though they have Aaron Rodgers for the Packers.

If you do run, defensively, Washington Football Team is ninth in opponent yards per carry. And if you're looking at scoring to keep this low, Green Bay is fourth best in opponent red zone attempts. So I don't expect Washington to be getting downfield too often, and when they do, not being able to convert those into touchdowns. Both teams 24th or worse for converting on third downs. We're going to see a lot of punting. I like the under in this game.

JARED QUAY: I love Pam's pick. I don't like Minty's, but Pam, I'm all in on yours.

MINTY BETS: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just watch, Jared.

JARED QUAY: Ravens to the Super Bowl.
