Here we go. Welcome in. It is Follow The Money on VSiN, EsportsBetting Network, Mitch Moss along with Pauly Howard. We're live in downtown Vegas from the Circa Resort and Casino.
Big show lined up today. I'm going to call it a three-hour banger. How do you like that? Jeff Sealey on the program, Best Bets at the BMW in 30 minutes, one week after Scotty Shuffler basically lapped the field. Mike Paulman Studio, three burning questions in the NFL plus you cannot be serious. In an hour and 15 minutes, professional better Paul Bovey is very strong, specifically on one team with a win total this year in the NFL. He told us Paul Bovey that he is going to give out information that the audience hasn't heard over and over and over again on this team. He has three bets already on this team for the year, and you'll find those out in a couple of hours. I don't know about you, but every time this year, it rolls around beginning to mid-August, season is right around the corner, I turn into a different creature of habit.
Now, honestly, when I wake up in the morning, let the dogs outside, do a couple of things. The first thing I do when I sit down at the computer or I grab the phone, Pauly, is I check to find out what the latest injury status is across the NFL.
Because it spreads like wild, we forget about it, but here is yet another reminder about what actually happens at the beginning of the season and then throughout when it will inevitably happen where we're looking at week nine and we're gonna say there are 10 quarterbacks in the league and I can't even believe we're on rosters but are starting that week. And it's here the list now again, the Saints and I have multiple bets on the Saints this year. You had the news about Tyson two months, Olavi, Blue 10 yesterday, now Kamara. He's gonna be a backup this year. He's out probably for a month. No sign for the Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce. Maybe he's ready for week one. They need their wide receiver room stinks. And he's clearly their best option. But it's one right after another again.

**Pauly Howard** (2:51)
It's the same teams as the chargers lose their center and the Texans lose another wide receiver. And it's big with Higgins out for the year.
So they're very disappointing. And you're right, it's happening every single day now.

**Mitch Moss** (3:02)
Higgins listed as the number two wide receiver for CJ Stroud and the Texans. That is a big loss. Tightness for CMC and Mike Evans, what is new?
What else could be happening there? Snap count early for Tucker Craft probably in the season.
And the list goes on and on and on. And it just from a betting standpoint, it speaks to when we have brought up friend of the show, Chris in Wichita before, who does this every single year, specifically targeting Tibet every under for wide receiver props across every single national book that he has access to. He has, I'm looking at it right now. He sent this to me a couple of weeks back. He has 94 bets this year already.
Shopped around, got the best number. Sometimes he would find differences of 75 plus yards, but he gets the best number on every single option listed for a season long wide receiver prop. Could be running back, could be tied in, but basically wide receivers. And he bets every single under.
I think he's ever had a losing year. Most times he cleans house. He needs to go 49 and 45 this year to break even. But so many things, and we're all doing these vignettes right now that you hear during breaks about betting tips. One of your tips is you have to consider unders because so many things can go wrong.

**Pauly Howard** (4:19)
That's right. Quarterback change, coach fired, OC change, all of it. Yep. All that can factor into it. I'm reading espn.com.
Six players you cannot ignore in fantasy drafts. Stribbling right there. All gas, no hesitation. One of the biggest rookie revelations at the wide receiver position. Since stunning the league with a 4-3-40 at the combine, he's surprised throughout the off season. 6-2, 2-10.
