MINTY BETS: Hey, guys. It's Minty Bets. The NFL schedule just came out for week one, and it's never too early to start looking at those lines. I'm going to quickly go through every week one match. Kicking things off, we've got the Houston Texans at the Kansas City Chiefs, minus 10. I like the over here. This is going to be a shootout, as both teams can score. Next up we've got the Dolphins at the Pats, minus 7.

I would absolutely take the Dolphins plus 7, because this line is going to move in favor of the Pats, and this is the best number we're going to see. Next up, we've got the Browns at the Ravens, minus 8 and 1/2. Keep with the Ravens. The Jets at the Bills, minus 5 and 1/2. Opening season in Buffalo, the Bills are totally going to dominate the Jets, and they've got something to prove, and they're going to prove it. Raiders, minus 1 and 1/2 at the Carolina Panthers.

I think people are thinking this team has lost its identity since a lot of key players are gone, but their defense has improved, drafting only defensive players. Give me the Panthers the cover and win, plus 1 and 1/2. Seahawks at Falcons, minus 1. The Falcons technically have a better roster, but Russell Wilson is a gamer, and I have to side with Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll here. Eagles, minus 6 at the Redskins. I'm going to take my chances with the Redskins here, because Ron Rivera usually produces great defenses. Give me the Redskins plus 6. Bears at Lions minus 1 and 1/2, total at 44.

I like the under. Two words-- Bears defense. Next up we've got the Colts at 7 at the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags are expected to be one of the ugliest teams this season, but I got to go with the home dog here to cover, and I don't quite trust the Colts just yet. Packers at Vikings, minus 3 and 1/2. I have to side with the best APS coach playing at home. Vikings, minus 3 and 1/2. Chargers, minus 3 and 1/2 at Bengals. Chargers do well outside of California, and they're looking to make a name for themselves.

There's too many what-ifs for the Cincinnati team, so I like the Chargers minus 3 and 1/2. Cards at 49ers, minus 8 and 1/2. I love the Cards here. They're a much improved team this year, and we know division rivals usually keep it close. Bucs at Saints, minus 5. As much as it pains me to say, the Bucs have a real shot at keeping this game close. The game is going to be decided by a field goal, like a lot of the Saints games that I tend to sweat.

Next up, Cowboys, minus 2 and 1/2 at Rams. The Cowboys have such a great roster that I think Mike McCarthy can utilize real efficiently. Moving on to the Monday game, Steelers minus 3 and 1/2 at Giants. Total set at 48. I like the under. The Steelers have the best defense in the league. 48 is a pretty high total. On to Monday Night Football, the Titans at the Broncos, minus 2 and 1/2. Tannehill and Vrabel all the way. The Titans have proved they are more than just an upper average team on a good day.
