The UFC card is going to be awesome to watch, i can't see any way the card will be boring with crappy fights. But unfortunately the lines are not as sweet. This is what i got for now:

James Vick +150

Cole Miller -105

Siler +175

Mike McDonald -200

Howard +345

Sonnen -110

1-0

 

[got_nugs]

Vick
OSP
Miller
Pineda
Siler
McDonald
McGregor
Lauzon
Howard
Matt Brown
Faber
OVEREEM
Chael

 

[TheGooRoo]

Don't like playing total bases, but Puig over Dom Brown has to be a play.

 

[modogg]

VICK!

yeah, hoping it can continue. some of the lines are moving like crazy, just grabbed Faber -205. Have no idea why it dropped so much

yeah, cole should have done better

adding Brandao -200 as well as the faber one. tail at your own risk, taking too many favorites has hurt in the past

4:30 - NFLN

Cardinals -2.5 ... (1H)

It was a pillow fight, but I'll take it.

Let's roll it over onto the 7:30 game on NFLN.

J-E-T-S -2.5 for the game.

Sage advice.

it was closer than i thought it was going to be. Those guys were toast in that 3rd round

 

[The Ref]

Whoa Siler.....

 

[got_nugs]

SILER!

 

[Treynwreck3]

SILER!!!

 

[modogg]

Whoa Siler.....

yeah, i like when they're that easy

 

[The Ref]

I put a token $10 on Holloway

 

[modogg]

I put a token $10 on Holloway

i put some on him yesterday. Good price, and the hype train with McGregor has gone way out of control. He is a real easy guy to like, but we haven't seen him tested yet

 

[Mr Anonymous]

Raider, who is that Carl's JR girl? I know you know.

If you are referring to commercials during the NFL game, we usually get local spots in the daytime.

Aw The free onion rings on your burger commercial.

I'm guessing this is the commercial...

Still haven't come up with a name, though I didn't put an inordinate amount of effort into it.

Falling in love with Lauzon at 8:20...any reason not to lay $130 on him?

 

[modogg]

Falling in love with Lauzon at 8:20...any reason not to lay $130 on him?

everybody seems to think Lauzon will dominate, and i am not sure why Johnson is being as discounted as he is. I do think lauzon can catch Johnson, but Johnson is also being discounted way too easily

My buddy said he wanted to stick his tongue up Lauzon's ### but i'm not sure what that has to do with fighting. I'm going to hold off for now and see how these next few play out.

Is this dude Brad Pitt in Snatch or what?!

yeah, i'm not sure i ever felt that way about a UFC fight, but to each their own. I did take the over 1.5 rounds

he still picked up his welfare check the week of his first UFC fight in Ireland, so he may be

McDonald time!

 

[Raider Nation]

Am I the only one who wants to see Sonnen get slapped around? He's an arrogant **** head.

 

[Raider Nation]

Evidently so.

I think it's an act, I think the dude is a genius. That said, you're likely to enjoy that tonight...Shogun is scary from what little i've seen in my short time following this sport.

 

[The Ref]

Evidently so.

Mo told me to bet him.... so no.

Old McDonald up to -340 and climbing fast

Comments from a dude over at Covers who seems to be killing MMA:

Striker vs. Grappler anyone? Muay Thai vs American Wrestling, Brazlian Hero vs. "The American Gangster". Ok I'll stop now. Shogun is and always will be my all time favorite fighter, I have a lot of fighters that I like but Shogun will always hold a special place in my heart. I didn't get the pleasure to watch his Pride Fights live but the replays are basically what got me interested in MMA.

I hate to be so simple but we all know Sonnen loses if it stays standing most of the fight and Shogun probably loses if he gets taken-down and can't get back up. I'd like to believe that Shogun has a better chance of holding his own in scrambing, clinching and off his back then Chael has standing with Shougn, it might be a small advantage but I believe it's there. It's a five round fight so I have to question Shogun's cardio as well as his Knees, although he seems to be past the knee problems as he has had no set backs after the last few fights.

Shogun has a few more outs in this fight, he can end the fight standing, win with his own take-downs (this is not very likely but Shogun has under-rated take-downs) or possibly submit Chael Sonnen. Chaels out in this fight is to Grind and Grind some more.

Chael's Striking is serviceable and his wrestling is obviously much better and based on Shogun's last few fights I'd also give the edge in Cardio to Sonnen but that's about all I'd give him.

In the end it comes down to whether or not Sonnen controls 3 of the 5 rounds to take a split or UD. If it was three round fight I'd probably be hesitating less and taking Sonnen to grind it out. The fanboy in me is going to pray and hope Shogun has his cardio up to par and I think everything else will fall into place.

Prediction - Shogun Rua via TKO ground and pound end of round 4.

 

[Raider Nation]

I'm gonna watch the Jets smoke the hapless Jags now. Do we have a rough estimate for the Sonnen start time?

That's you, Mo?

 

[modogg]

10:15 maybe. it is 5 rounds, so they need at least 25 minutes

 

[modogg]

That's you, Mo?

i haven't been to covers in awhile. Miss the place sometimes

 

[Raider Nation]

Oh damn, big card. Okay. Thanks.

 

[Raider Nation]

7-0 J-E-T-S... just like that.

Preseason is my beyotchhhh!

Somebody's gotta win by 3! I took them because I like their depth better. Watch and relax.

 

[Raider Nation]

Jesus, should have just taken the over. Who expected a video game between these two offenses???

I teased the under..... Rookie bet.

 

[got_nugs]

Glad I passed so far

 

[modogg]

Glad I passed so far

yeah, i could not figure out why there was so much love for Lauzon. i was thinking of taking Kohnson, but everything i was looking at was so overwhelmingly Lauzon i passed. but if Lauzon gets it to the ground it may end quick. as long they go halfway through this round i'll be happy

 

[got_nugs]

so, Howard?!

 

[modogg]

so, Howard?!

small play, total flier on it. No way Hall should be anything above -200 or so. His stand-up is fun to watch, but his takedown defense hasn't been tested immensely. value play here, because Howard isn't a barn burner either.

 

[ChainsawU]

Matt Brown -135

 

[modogg]

Matt Brown -135

Yeah, the love that has come in on Pyle has been weird. I got some on Brown, but a lighter play. Mike Pyle has hurt me a few times in the past under-rating him.

 

[got_nugs]

a decision for the good guys!!

 

[Treynwreck3]

Wow!!

 

[LOCO]

Howard!!!
