Hey, folks, it's Tim Murray, and here we are, College Football season, long Saturdays ahead, and staying locked in for an entire day of football takes a little bit more than coffee. Loreen's new pouch is built exactly for that, without the nicotine. It works just like the pouches you've seen before. Tuck one in and go about your day. Each has 50 milligrams of caffeine, about half a cup of coffee, plus L-theanine and alpha GPC for smooth, steady focus with no crash. And because it's Loreen, it's also got nano hydroxyapatite, the mineral your teeth are made of. So it gives your daily enamel support in between brushings. It's smooth energy without the jitters, and it comes in mint, cinnamon and mango, all nicotine free. I love the cinnamon. Give Loreen a try.

Right now, Loreen is offering our listeners up to 50% off at buyloreen.com/college.

This is VSiN, the SportsBetting Network.

Follow the Money, that's what I always say, you always follow the money. This is Follow the Money with Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard on VSiN. Here we go.

Mitch Moss (1:35)

Welcome in. Follow the Money on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network, Mitch Moss along with Pauly Howard. We're live in downtown Las Vegas from the Circa Resort and Casino. Busy program lined up today, three-hour banger. Zach Cohen on the program here from VSiN, host of Hardwood Handicappers on day one, opening night of the Association. Tons of futures to go over with him. Best Bets for tonight as well. Same thing with Doug Kazarian a little bit later on. He's going to join us in studio and Derek Stevens, owner CEO, his weekly Tuesday spot with us. We will ask him about what happened, if they can shed any light, give us any update and information on what took place with the mispick in the Grandisimo $100,000 buying contest over the weekend, among other things with him today. Pauly will spend a lot of time today going over Best Bets that we have for the NBA, talking about the Association.

Week seven numbers, week eight, look ahead numbers in the NFL. Week eight, look ahead.

Pauly Howard (2:29)

Where does the time go?

Mitch Moss (2:30)

Where does the time go, huh? And they lost last night. I think the commanders, I'll say it again, they might win this division.

They might be, are they the best team in the division? Even though they are so dumb, it's unbelievable. It's so difficult to watch this team play.

Pauly Howard (2:45)

How high is that football IQ? With the coach and the quarterback, what do you think?

Mitch Moss (2:50)

Not very high. How about the difference between Shanahan and Purdy compared to Dan Quinn and Daniels last night? And they almost pulled the game off by the way.

So now the numbers here, at some point does it catch up with San Francisco because we did see it catch up with them last night, meaning that Mike Evans was having a really good game, all the numbers like on the field. So when he was on the field, they were getting 0.57 EPA per play, nine yards per play. Off the field negative 0.14 EPA per player, 4.4 yards per play. Same basic breakdown as well on the field and off the field with passes only. And when he left, that's when the offense went kaput and they couldn't do anything basically at all. And that's how the commanders got back into that game last night. And I also have a problem with how it was managed again at Quinn, the fourth on thing we could get into as well coming up in a little bit. I think people are overreacting to that. However, what did you think in real time when they did not try the field goal down 23-17 the first time around?

Did you have a problem with that because they had three timeouts plus the two minute warning and plenty of time against a team that could not move the football on their previous drives, especially after Mike Evans left?

Pauly Howard (4:02)

No way. They're hot on offense. It's only three yards.

He missed Diggs who was open and he decided to go for the touchdown. And they made a great play defensively. What people are assuming and they can't assume it is it's the field goals in your back pocket. It's not.

Mitch Moss (4:15)

That's the thing, right?

Pauly Howard (4:17)

He kissed in an extra point and Eddie missed an extra point too.

Mitch Moss (4:20)

It's very true.

Pauly Howard (4:21)

So you just can't say take the points, free points. And these guys have already missed extra points or it's been an adventure.
