Here we go. Welcome in, it is Follow The Money on VSiN. The Sports Betty Network, Mitch Moss along with Pauly Howard. We're live in downtown Las Vegas from the Circa Resort and Casino closing. The week strong as always with a three hour banger coming up today in terms of guests in an hour from right now.
Andy Molitor is gonna join the program. He is in town for BetBash and also half of the Deep Dive podcast. He and Drew have done a great job on the NFL and other sports for several years. He's in studio. Wes Reynolds on the program in 90 minutes. Big week for his Hoosiers in college football. Doug Kazarian, WNBA and Christopher Smith on the Red Hot Red Sox coming up a little bit later on, which we'll get to as well. But last night was a hell of a night. I sat on the air yesterday. No complaining if the game is boring, slow, nothing happens. It was the exact opposite. Beck looked really good. 15 of 19 for a buck 88 and a touchdown. And that did point out on the year, one of the reasons why I wanted to go against Carolina, but I couldn't because Haynes King's game kind of scares me in the preseason. Boy, did that translate well last night.
Scores the game winning touchdown on a scramble, throws for 180 yards, two more scores. And that game just had fireworks. It was the second and the fourth quarters were unbelievable football last night.

**Pauly Howard** (1:24)
Yeah, one of the best Hall of Fame games ever. No, no, top that one, the defense was horrendous. A lot of the stuff was just Charlie Checkdown or stuff wide open over the middle. And it was just to even play. Yeah, when Arizona was backed up inside their own five. And I mean, that guy can't be wide open like that. And then the third and 14 on the final drive with the middle of the fields wide open. And he takes off and runs for like 25 yards on the scramble. But phenomenal game. Tough, tough finish, tough if you had Arizona. And horrendous bet if you had the under with 36 and a half down to 33 and a half and went over in the second quarter. No problem there.

**Mitch Moss** (1:59)
It also appears that maybe both these teams are going to be bet on teams this year in the preseason, depends on like how much playing time Beck is going to get. They gave him a ton of run last night and boy, did he deliver overall. And like I talked about your guy, I mean, the one thing that you said about being okay with Carolina last night is that you like, can he pick it?
Okay, well, I mean, not absolutely horrendous. And then Haynes King came in as a cleanup duty and looked really, really good. And that was a good sign because if you go back before last night, Carolina, like last year, they got pummeled in these games in the last three years. They were one in eight straight up in ATS in the last nine games, averaging 12 points per game. I guess you can throw that out the window now with who they have in the quarterback room and overs for this game now, five straight years now.

**Pauly Howard** (2:38)
Yeah.

**Mitch Moss** (2:38)
And even though it opened up 36 and a half of the market was all over the under in that game. I wonder now next year, based on who, like where do they open up the number next year? 37 key number there. They go higher than that?
Who knows? We'll have to think they have to probably.

**Pauly Howard** (2:52)
So now Arizona comes out here. They play Vegas, Vegas one and a half, 39 and a half on Thursday night. Carolina goes to Buffalo Saturday afternoon. Buffalo's laying two and a half in that game.

**Mitch Moss** (3:02)
How about numbers up already for these?

**Pauly Howard** (3:04)
Good job. Yes. And the movement to Cincinnati is up to four and a half at home Thursday against Detroit. And Zach Taylor has been terrible in the preseason. So is Dan Campbell, but a move on Cincinnati early.

**Mitch Moss** (3:17)
I think, well, Taylor has to realize that this is it for him. Has to, doesn't he?
And no more slow starts at all. You got to come in this year with a healthy team in that offense. Now again, like in the trenches, they're not going to be great, at least on paper, as of right now, the defense might be kind of bad again this year. But you have to come in guns a blazing to the beginning of the year for your Cincinnati.
