Follow The Money | April 6, 2026 | Hour 1

In this episode of VSiN Best Bets' 'Follow the Money,' hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into the NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship game between Michigan and UConn, analyzing the massive betting implications of Dan Hurley’s coaching dominance and Michigan’s historic 90-point scoring streak. The discussion centers on whether the odds favor betting against Hurley’s UConn team despite Michigan’s overwhelming talent and recent blowouts. The hosts highlight the psychological and strategic edge Hurley brings, comparing him to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and argue that UConn’s ability to slow the game down and exploit Michigan’s reliance on perimeter shooting could make the under a compelling play. The episode also covers wild volatility in the Rookie of the Year market, where Cooper Flagg’s late-season surge caused odds to swing from -2500 to +money in days, prompting the hosts to bet against the media frenzy and back Conk Nippel at plus money. Additional coverage includes NBA playoff seeding drama, tanking strategies, and a historic night of lopsided NBA games with an average margin of victory over 24 points across nine games. The hosts emphasize the importance of following the money—both in betting markets and team incentives—throughout the final stretch of the season.
