UFC Fight Night: Machado Garry vs. Prates predictions
We’ll reveal one of Vithlani’s UFC Fight Night: Machado Garry vs. Prates selections here: Roberto Romero (-105 at DraftKings Sportsbook) to defeat Timothy Cuamba (-115) in a featherweight matchup on the preliminary card.
“This should be a fun back-and-forth affair,” Vithlani told SportsLine. “Romero made his UFC debut on short notice against hard-nosed scrapper David Onama. Despite losing each round, he impressed me with his toughness and relentlessness. Romero’s inside low kicks, heavy forward pressure and overhand punches were giving Onama trouble early. I feel Romero is the more dangerous fighter in this matchup and could have the bigger moments. Cuamba is a crafty striker with slick movement. He is also a strong wrestler and could look to mix his game up if Romero’s pressure is leading the dance. Both fighters have strong cardio and durability, so I expect a competitive affair. Ultimately, I see Romero’s aggression winning out.” See who else to back here.

Monday Night Football Week 7 Preview: Odds, lines, best bets
Game Overview Two of the NFC’s finest in the Buccaneers and Lions have seen each other frequently over recent years. They faced off twice in 2023, with the Lions covering twice as the favorite, including a six-point cover in Detroit during the NFC Divisional round playoff. That wasn’t the same story when they met up early in 2024, with the Bucs stealing the outright win as 7.5-point underdogs in Detroit. This time around, there will be no shortage of bad blood, with each team vying for control of the conference. The Bucs are currently seated atop the NFC with a 5-1 overall record, while the Lions aren’t far behind at 4-2. It’s a similar story in betting markets, with both franchises tied among many teams for the NFL’s best cover rate (66.7%). Tampa has been deadly on the road this […]
