Follow The Money | August 25, 2026 | Hour 3

**John Smoltz** (0:20)
You don't tip.

**Derek Stevens** (0:27)
It's time for the Tip Jar at Mitch and Pauly's Pizzeria.

**Mitch Moss** (0:30)
All right, let's go fill it up every Tuesday at this time. They usually do it half an hour, 15 minutes earlier, though. Went along with Brad. FTM at vsin.com or tweet at us as well. Email FTM at vsin.com. Tom in Pennsylvania started with a bang. Tom, you got greedy. Wyndham Clark to win the BMW. Good call winner.
Stribbling, offensive rookie of the year. And then he threw Wemby MVP on there. But 1700 to one. Call it good with Stribbling.

**Pauly Howard** (0:58)
No, no. Why not?

**Mitch Moss** (0:59)
Oh, he threw another one on.

**Pauly Howard** (1:00)
It's going to be a great sweat now that he has for the NBA season.
First of all, it gets there with Wyndham. I know. Of all things.

**Mitch Moss** (1:07)
33 to one. That's how you start the ticket.

**Pauly Howard** (1:10)
Well, I hope he's truly going into the Wemby.

**Mitch Moss** (1:12)
I know.

**Pauly Howard** (1:12)
I really do.

**Mitch Moss** (1:13)
Love Rich in Canada and all this stuff's available. He's betting unique parlays with exact seeds in baseball.
Who could choke a division? Who could get a four, a five, move up to a two?
He's got combos. He wants the Yankees to go up and the Braves to move down. The rest are mixed up. He's even got some Seattle in there with some Cleveland to win a division.
Yankees the one, Cleveland the two, Seattle the three, Atlanta the five. 255 to one. That's for starters. But he mixed and matched with a lot of the exact seeds that are available. And I know there's a ton of stuff up at Caesars with six seed and exact seed and all that kind of business and DK as well.

**Pauly Howard** (1:55)
Yeah, I don't think Rich said exactly how many tickets he has, but we know it's a lot because he told us that's his philosophy here.

**Mitch Moss** (2:01)
Well, it makes sense because they're all bunched up.

**Pauly Howard** (2:03)
Sure.

**Mitch Moss** (2:03)
Like even Seattle's only three back.
Two and a half back in the joke schedule. And even Cleveland, two and a half back.

**Pauly Howard** (2:12)
I got an updated prediction for you on Seattle. I think they open below five to one most wins.

**Mitch Moss** (2:18)
That low?

**Pauly Howard** (2:19)
That's my guess.

**Mitch Moss** (2:20)
Oh my God.

**Pauly Howard** (2:20)
That's my guess.

**Mitch Moss** (2:21)
Well, they're with 17 games against the Rockies, Angels and A's.

**Pauly Howard** (2:24)
There you go.

**Mitch Moss** (2:25)
It'd be nice if they finish off the month.

**Pauly Howard** (2:27)
And the whole thing of like, well, they've had a high power weight in the entire year.

**Mitch Moss** (2:31)
Yeah.

**Pauly Howard** (2:32)
Maybe Raleigh gets hot in the next couple of days, but it's going to be that narrative of, well, they need these games to win.

**Mitch Moss** (2:40)
Oh, Jack in West Virginia. Jack, SMU wins the ACC, UTSA wins the American, the Cowboys, with Mitch Moss win the NFC, 67-1. Hasn't happened in 30 years, Jack.

**Pauly Howard** (2:54)
Well, don't turn me in to the Cowboys fan. I just had my boldest prediction yesterday that the Cowboys will make the NFC title game.

**Mitch Moss** (3:00)
Yeah. Absolute embarrassment. The only NFC team not to make the title game in the last 30 years were Cowboys.

**Pauly Howard** (3:06)
Was that bad?

**Mitch Moss** (3:07)
Jimmy on Cape Cod, Lynx aces Xacta, Jags to have more wins than the Packers, Lakers miss the playoffs. Jimmy!
Jimmy will see you later. I don't know what. 42 to 1 Lakers are going to be good.

**Pauly Howard** (3:24)
Oh, but I like where his head is at though.

**Mitch Moss** (3:26)
Not bad.

**Pauly Howard** (3:27)
Yeah.

**Mitch Moss** (3:28)
I would pick a different team in the West, but maybe Luka could get hurt, too, and that really would derail things.

**Pauly Howard** (3:35)
His brain is creative. Yes.

**Mitch Moss** (3:37)
Right.

**Pauly Howard** (3:38)
Mixing it up a little bit here.

**Mitch Moss** (3:39)
Yeah. I like the exact stuff, too, although I will argue, because you asked me a week ago, I think, like, what if Atlanta plays Indiana in the first round? I mean, there are some good teams. That's a pretty deep WNBA. The links are good, the Golden State is good. Atlanta can score. The Fever can score. The Aces are tough. Who is this guy? GM1971. Okay, let's go with it. All divisions. Bengals, Lions, Jags, Panthers, 93 to 1
