SBN coverage of UFC 114: Rampage vs. Evans

Odds via Sports Book and MMA Moneyline

Star-divide

The Flirtatious teases: Dan Miller (+130) over Michael Bisping (-160) and Dong Hyun Kim (+105) over Amir Sadollah (-135)

Ah, Michael Bisping and Amir Sadollah. Two vastly overrated commodities in fights that they could easily win or lose. They are such c%&* teases.

Pull the trigger if you want to but be prepared for a stern rebuking. But then again, if you actually get into the bed it will be oh so fun.

The Suicide Pick: Dan Luazon (+300) over Efrain Escudero (-500)

There's an old saying in gambling "if I put a gun to your head who would you pick?" That's why this is the suicide pick because you'd probably end up dead.

Dan Lauzon's questionable training camp and split with his brother is one of the biggest red flags a bettor can see. No wise guy would dare place money on Lauzon in this situation. But not every wise guy is out there to prove his brother wrong and that could be the necessary motivation to propel Dan to a win. Plus, I don't really trust Efrain after the last Fight Night performance.

You can't go wrong with either side: Rashad Evans (-130) vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (even)

There are strong arguments for betting either fighter and I can't disagree with either line of reasoning. That's probably why the line is almost a pick'em.

Choose your side and have fun.

That's way too low: Diego Sanchez (-200) over John Hathaway (+160)

Diego may have been boxed out of the top-five by welterweight wrestlers but he is still a really good fighter. In fact, I would go so far as to say that if B.J. Penn had not kicked Diego's ass at 107 that his odds would be closer to -250. So there's value here. That's not to say that Hathaway isn't a good fighter with a bright future or that Diego's transition back to welterweight will be seamless. There's just value in betting a guy who people are down on for the wrong reasons.

Double Suicide?

Wasn’t it not that long ago people were writing off Efrain Escudero? I think he owes Santa a thank you letter for giving him an early Christmas present in the form of a Lauzon family fued.

If Dunham performs well against Griffin it will go along way in figuring out how good Efrain is.

Who I'm rooting for:

Rampage
Miller
Duffee
Lil Nog
Hathaway
Who I’m picking: Pretty much the opposite except for Duffee and Lil Nog. My chi has been off lately.

I'm your huckleberry.

Russow at +250 is an excellent bet. he’s as underrated as Duffee is overrated

I saw russow at +350 I nearly creamed myself. Saw Sanchez at -130 too. Loved it

However, when I fake bet I win BIG and when I bet for real I lose it all. So I didn’t put anything down.

Even a broken clock is right two times a day.
