some tempting lines there

especially in the undercards. Hardy, Liaudin and especially Etim are very attractive at those odds. So’s Baron.

I was thinking the exact opposite...

on the Baron fight. Miller would be around -210-ish in my book.

Etim is looking great at those odds though.

early money is coming in on Baron, at least thats what I gleen from the line movements. If you like Miller, don’t buy to early. I suspect it will get better and then get worse.

I would be careful with Hardy, I think Gono is a lock. He has looked good and I think the line is good.

I think that all of us agree on Etim.

I think that all of us agree on Etim.

It’s funny, the first thing I thought when looking at these lines was “wow, I’d take Etim to submit Stout at those odds,” looks like I’m far from alone in that sentiment.

No love for Leben? Poor supporter-less bastard.

Well played, still my favorite line from the TUF series.

Value Bets:

Jardine and Liaudin.

Jardine has been KO’d by Alexander and Silva: Hyper-aggressive fighters. Vera fits that mold not at all, and has yet to prove he can comfortably cut to 205.

Have never been wowed by Liaudin, but even less so by Bielkheden. Good value there.
