Follow The Money | April 20, 2026 | Hour 3

In this episode of VSiN Best Bets' 'Follow The Money,' hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into NBA playoff dynamics, NFL draft speculation, and sports betting insights. They open with a fiery analysis of the Detroit Pistons' shocking Game 1 loss to the Orlando Magic, questioning their ability to win at home in the playoffs and highlighting key player underperformances—especially Jalen Duren's minus-21 impact and Tobias Harris' struggles. The hosts debate whether the Pistons' 60-win season was built on unsustainable fundamentals, with a focus on their lack of offensive creation beyond Cade Cunningham. They then pivot to a controversial take on Steph Curry’s lack of free throw calls, calling it a 'real' issue rooted in decades of inconsistent officiating, contrasting him with past stars like James Harden and Reggie Miller. The conversation shifts to NFL draft chaos, with insider rumors swirling around Jeremiah Love, Sonny Styles, and Caleb Downs, and the potential for unexpected trades and landing spots—especially for the Giants, Chiefs, and Commanders. Nick Whalen joins to break down draft position props and player projections, emphasizing that this year’s draft defies traditional value models. The episode closes with a critical look at how meaningless NFL wins can backfire in the draft lottery, using the Raiders’ 60-yard field goal as a cautionary tale. Throughout, the hosts stress the importance of following the money—both in betting markets and organizational strategy.
