I gotta go with Schaub over Big Country in this one. I am still not impressed with Nelson. Schaub was able to get Big Baby off of him and even took a knee to the face and survived.

I am also considering Marcus Jones over Matt Mitrione too. Mitrione is not a fighter and I think Big Baby could handle Mitrione with ease.

What do you guys think?

The question is... How much money do you got on Schaub?

I have $50 on him at +700

$40 on Him at +500

And I got $10 on Nelson at +500

$50 on Him at +285

and $30 on Him at +200

I also agree that Marcus Beats Matt easily. Schaub has alot of power and isn't too bad on the ground.

We are in for a treat on Saturday, that is for sure.

Correction. I have $35 on Brenden at +500 not $40, and $45 on Roy at +285, not $50

Just double checked my bets.

My brother has a total of $125 on each guy at different odds ranging from Schaub +700 to +200 and Nelson +500 to +200 that he had been putting small amounts on every week. And the wife has $50 on Schaub at +700 and $50 on Roy at +285.

Who do you like in the Kimbo/Houston fight? I hope Alexander knocks him out for good.

Haha I wish my book had the TUF 10 futures up. I can't wait to see the odds for finalist fight and the Jones/Matrione fight. I think Schaub/Nelson will be close to a PK and Jones should be a decent fave.

Haha yeah there's a reason why I didn't pick a side yet in the Kimbo/Houston fight. That one I think could go either way but I am leaning Houston. Kimbo could gas in that one giving the edge to Houston in the 3rd round if it even goes that long.

Clearly Dana hand picked Kimbo's opponent but I don't think he did it so Kimbo could win, I just think he wants to make sure it's an exciting fight and it doesn't become a yawn fest like the Kimbo/Big Country fight on TUF. No one wants to see that crap again.

Yeah you did, I just only have 1 book though so I am stuck with whatever they offer me.

You really think Jones will be that big of a favorite? I would think the books would have learned by now that these TUF fights can go either way since the talent level is so low. I thought Jones would be closer to -200 to -250

Definitely Jump on Marcus' line as soon as it comes out because it will more than likely go way up by the time the fight start.

He may very well open at -200, but everyone and their mother is going to be pounding him at that price.

I would Imagine that the Kimbo fight will be televised live.

I guarantee it will. Kimbo is great for ratings. The televised portion will probably look like this;

Jon Jones vs Matt Hamill
Roy Nelson vs Brendan Schaub
Frank Edgar vs Matt Veach
Matt Mitrione vs Marcus Jones
Kimbo Slice vs Houston Alexander

I would think in that order to. They will want to start off with an exciting fight and what better way then to start with a fight where 2 guys are going to stand and swing for the fences?

You still have a decent chunk on those 2 guys though. It will be sweet if Schaub pulls out the win. I put $10 on Roy when the lines first came out(And before I knew who the 2 finalists were.) His line dropped from +500 to +285 Overnight.

I like Hamill, Frankie, Jones, and Houston. I really want Schaub to win(Obviously) but I really don't know about that one.

All I got is $25 on each to win the tournament, Nelson at +250 and Shaub at +300, betus wouldn't allow to me put any more on them.  Either way, it's guaranteed money, wish it was more $ though.

It's funny. After I got $85 on each guy and tried to put more, it said that my wager limit had been reached. But my brother had $125 on each guy before it said that the limit had been reached.

It seemed every week as new odds came out that you could place a new wager on  them without any problems.

At one point(I think in week 2 or 3 of TUF 10) They raised the limit to $50

It's funny cause I guessed Nelson would be a little less than -300.

Might have to throw him in to a parlay.

Wow. It's amazing that Betus had Nelson +150 and Schaub +105 to win the show just this week.

Oh wow I can get Schaub at +220?!?!?

Looks  like I was almost spot on with Marcus Jones, I think I might still take him at -255. I am kind of surprised to see Kimbo and Houston Alexander at a PK, I might have to take Houston at that price.

I would definitely take Houston as a Pickem, however, both of my books have him at -260 and Kimbo at +200!

These lines are from Logans(Where I normally get better lines)

 I am seeing Marcus at -295 and Matt at +235

Also have Roy Nelson at -295 and Schaub at +235

Most of the other lines are the same.
