The betting lines are out for the full UFC 146 card, and the preliminary card looks a lot nicer than the main card. It's tough to argue that Frank Mir could possibly be a good bet at +300, and you could say the same for Antonio Silva. Roy Nelson might be an okay bet at -220, but that's about it. The other two bouts rest largely on your opinion of the men squaring off. The prelims are a different story.
The first thing I noticed was Darren Elkins at +300. I thought it was a mistake. Sure, Diego Brandao's good and he won TUF and all that, but Elkins is pretty dang tough at 145 and could most definitely put it on Brandao. I was tempted to take Elkins outright before I ever saw the line, and now I can get a ridiculous price on my money too? Awesome. I also think bets on Jacob Volkmann at -160 and Daniel Pineda at +175 are solid plays.
Anyway, here are all the lines.
