Minty Bets & Liz Loza On The Current NFL Season, Yahoo! Sports, Football Raps, Las Vegas, Favorite Restaurants & More

Americans love football, of that there can be no mistake. According to the most recent data, 1 in 5 of us play fantasy football. The 2021 NFL season just wrapped up its first quarter, but there is a long way to go for fantasy football leagues and the pressure will continue to build. Who do you start this week? Who do you sit? What about the matchups? And many of us can now legally bet on football as well.

Minty Bets is Yahoo Sports’ lead betting reporter and analyst. She was born and raised in Las Vegas, a world where sports betting is a way of life. She entered the space in 2018 when she joined the media company Wager Talk as a betting host. Since then, she has generated a very large audience on social media as she has become well-known for creating both original and relatable betting content.

Liz Loza is a cast member of the award-winning Fantasy Football LIVE. Loza writes about fantasy sports for Yahoo! Sports and has been featured by the New York Times and CNN. Most recently she was a panelist at the National Fantasy Football Convention in its inaugural effort.
