MINTY BETS: For Sunday Night Football, we've got a week one rematch between the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This time, it's taking place in Tampa Bay, Florida, and the Bucs are favored by 5 and 1/2 points. Total set at 51 and 1/2. All right, I'll go first here.

I think this is gonna be a really intense revenge game for the Bucs. And I do think the Bucs win, but the Saints cover. This is gonna be a really close game as I think Tom Brady and the offense is really getting it together. Their defense is fierce. The Saints haven't looked too good, so I think that's why I favor Tampa Bay here.

And both teams are expecting their star receivers back, so this should be a really good game. But I'll take the Saints plus 5 and 1/2. Matt, what do you think?

MATT GOTHARD: I'm following you with the Saints plus 5 and 1/2. I mean, in the NFL, it's hard to beat the same team twice. So maybe the Bucs get this game at home. But 5 and 1/2 is a lot of points, especially with the way that the Saints handedly beat them in week one.

I know that they've added a couple of pieces here, especially with Antonio Brown. But he's a wildcard. He's definitely not enough for me to start laying 5 and 1/2 with this team, especially on Sunday Night Football where the underdogs seem to be a pretty good play.

MINTY BETS: Nice. All right, Jared, what do you think?

JARED QUAY: You guys want to make it three? You guys want to make it all together, three in a row? Nope, because I'm taking the Saints moneyline. No, I think they're gonna win.

Let's be honest, all right? We got to put some respect on the Saints name, all right? The Buccaneers are new. They're adding Antonio Brown. But the Saints just got Kwon Alexander, so that defense is gonna be strong. Drew Brees gets his weapons back.

And I just feel like they gave them 5 and 1/2? Oh, no, go with moneyline. You can win big profits there. Go with it, guys. I've been hot. You know you can follow me.

You know I win some bets. Trust me. If I'm wrong, yeah, cuss me out. Hit me up on Twitter. Come on, moneyline Saints. Give it to me.
