Follow The Money | April 24, 2026 | Hour 3

In this episode of VSiN Best Bets, hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into the chaos of the 2026 NFL Draft, focusing heavily on the Rams' controversial selection of quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick. They critique the decision as a strategic misstep for a Super Bowl contender, highlighting the disconnect between the team’s immediate needs and the long-term development of a backup quarterback. The hosts dissect the fragmented nature of draft betting markets, explaining how multiple bookmakers’ divergent models and information asymmetry led to massive probability inconsistencies—such as Reese and Bailey both being priced at over 85%—which they describe as a 'mind bleep.' They also explore the broader implications of organizational secrecy, using the 2021 draft surprise with Trey Lance as a cautionary tale. The episode transitions into live betting action, with a focus on Major League Baseball’s Nationals, who are 8-0 to the over in series openers, and a detailed breakdown of NBA playoff odds, including Lakers vs. Rockets and key player props. The segment concludes with Steve Wiss, the 'Meat Man,' delivering high-conviction soccer picks across the FA Cup and Premier League, including over 3.5 goals in the Man City vs. Southampton clash and a strong recommendation for Bournemouth to finish in the top six at 5-1.
