On the latest episode of Bet the Edge, Sara Perlman and Drew Dinsick break down the expectations for the Miami Dolphins this season and if QB Tua Tagovailoa will take the next steps to lead his team to a division title. Drew doesn’t expect their defense to create as many opportunities to score points like they did in 2020, putting more pressure on the offense to light up the scoreboard.
MMA and UFC analyst Dave Ross joins the show to highlight the card for UFC 265 in Houston, Texas this weekend. He explains why Michael Chiesa (-105) has the value in his fight against Vicente Luque (-130). With a 6-3 UFC record as an underdog, Dave details why he is backing Derrick Lewis (+380) to win by knockout in the main event against Ciryl Gane.
After a wild NBA Free Agency, PointsBet Head Trader Jay Croucher dissects the futures market and tells Sara and Drew why the Brooklyn Nets (+225) have held firm as the title favorites without making any big moves so far in the off-season. He also breaks down the NFL Rookie of the Year odds and points out which players bettors are backing ahead of the 2021 season.
Sara and Drew wrap up today’s episode with their Edge of the Day plays. Drew is backing Abel Kipsand (+325) of Kenya to win the 1500m race in the Tokyo Olympics, while Sara sees value in the main card for UFC 265 and is likes the match betwen Lewis and Gane to go over 2.5 rounds (-130).
